Sound has a hissing noise

[kamuran55]

Sometimes my sound produces some kind of a hissing noise, it's on and off. For and example, say I go on Youtube the video will have perfect sound and later on the sound will have a buzz/hiss noise. It's not my speakers because it does it with my turtle beaches too.

What should I do? Is there a way to change the sound device in the Sound Mixer? I was trying to figure out stuff and I did something wrong.

I have an Asus M4A87TD Mobo.

Also, if anyone knows how to use HD Vdeck, my turtlebeaches always echo and it's not them because I use it on my 360 and they're fine.

When I was writing this, the sound was fine and then I opened up dropbox and the hissing noise came again.

Are you using the equalizer function in both Vdeck and the media player ?
About the echo, do you have reverb setting switched on or something ?

I have Enable Loudness Equalization, Sound Equalizer, Speaker Fill, Center/LFE Swap, Bass Management and Room correction on.

Try to set the equalization of the high tones a little lower, when i set it all to max and in my player my onboard audio also start to hiss when much high tones are used.
For the echo, maybe try to play with that room correction.

I always have problems with onboard audio. There are usually problems with it such as what you are experiencing. You may try updating your drives and, if used, disconnect the F_Audio (Front panel audio) cable from the board and see if it helps.

If this is not integrated, check for audio card drivers and update those. If you still have problems, either switch to integrated or buy an audio card. It may also be a problem within windows, I've had stray audio signals create white noise before, even randomly pop or click. If you would rather, try re installing windows before a new audio card but, that is a bit of a hassle and a longshot but, it just might work. The "Loudness" setting you have enabled sounds the most likely to cause you problems. Also, if you have a program the normalize all sound levels (Called normalization usually, or something similar to keep audio levels constant) disable that as well. You have quite the clustermuck of unnecessary"enahncers" on, and I would bet that it's one of those causing your problem. Usually those are cheap, crap put out by the Audio Chipset company to make novice users fell "professional" or like a DJ. I'd disable them or even uninstall them altogether and re-install ONLY the audio drivers. NOT the software too.
