Having the same problem again

Went away for about 3 weeks, and now it's back...

WTF.

Updated DirectX, no fix...

What the hell, this is really pissing me off.

Anyone have this problem, and fix it?

Dell sucks.

They want me to send it in, so they can replace motherboard... I can't be without laptop for a week and a half.

I understand your furstration...If you don't pay the extra for the in-home warranty, though you can't exactly be pissed if they want you to send it in....Since that is the level of service you paid for

I'm pissed that a 4 month old laptop is a piece of shit.

I've had so many damn weeks of complete BS with this system.

I know a ton about computers, and in my entire life I've never had any BS like this.

Period.

Just installed new motherboard, and another 7800 Go (Rev 2)

So far (1/2HR) so good as far as the crackling sound goes...

Yet to test out a game for more than 20min, and see if I still get overheating issues.

Hopefully this will be my last pissed off post about my E1705

Ya, hopefully it goes good for ya. Should'nt be a problem

Ya, Keep us informed. I have the same problem with my 1 week old maxxed M1710 and BF2. Damn crackling driving me nuts.

Well motherboard fixed this problem...

FOR A MONTH.

And now it's back... Starting to hate this Dell.

I really doubt it's the motherboard if the problem only happens in WOW.

Install the Creative Audigy Software. That fixes the problem in BF2, not sure in WoW though. WoW works fine on my lappy either way, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks guys...

Doesn't only happen in WoW, happens in CS also

Also stutters every 2 seconds while playing games

Thanks everyone!

I'd be more inclined to blame Blizzard, honestly. They muck something up with every patch - I noticed my framerates have gone down the tubes since Naxx came out.

Do you run anything like TS or Vent while playing? With software-based sound (AC97, etc), programs like that can wreak havoc on both your graphics and your sound quality.

I've never actually noticed sound issues in WoW because I generally keep it disabled.

Nope, don't run anything else with WoW or CS, and I get the crackling sound when I play either

I was a Dell fan for years, it's a shame something like this is going to change that forever.

soo sorry to hear inspiron, personally at this point you should probably be asking for a replacement system since you've gone through hell!!! anything i can do to help, let me know
post #57 of 64
Hrm.. what's in your processes list when you're playing WoW? Does it do the same thing when not in a 3D app (Winamp, Media Player)? Have you tried older/newer/different versions of sound driver/codec? Someone may have already asked, but what version of DirectX are you running?

I'm trying to think of anything that can mess with sound.
post #58 of 64
i had the same problem after i did a fresh format of my laptop.

i installed both the high def and creative drivers and had the crackling. what i did to solve my problem is i ran dxdiag and in the audio tab i disabled the hardware acceleration. ever since no crackling in any game.

give it a try, i didnt even notice a diff in sound and game performance.

let me know if it helps

After buying and installing the Sound Blaster Audigy Advanced MB, the cracking went away on BF2. Theres no cracking in Oblivion either, although there never was in Oblivion.

My experience. M1710 with Audigy = no crackling.
E1704 without Audigy = crackling.
