Well new computer got here and quickly loaded N4 to try the speedier processor
but can't get the sound to work right. Have tried all of the sound options and
various levels but sounds are corrupted bad. Very loud buzzing crackling and
popping with the sounds I'm used to in the background. Damn near thought I blew
my speakers. Have since learned puter came with a suspect sound card...the
Conexant "Riptide" combo. Any help or suggestions welcomed even if the
consensus is to but a new card. Also game loads fine through cd-rom drive but
will only play through dvd ?? Hewlitt Packard - bought from ubid.com so it's
mine love it or fix it.
900 mhz athlon
128 meg ram
TNT 16 meg banta (weak I know) vid card
48x cd rom
12x dvd
TIA
Do you know if the motherboard uses the VIA chipset? I don't have an
Athlon or VIA based system, but I have often heard of people solving
problems with Athlon/VIA systems (inlcuding the crackling sound problem)
by installing the latest motherboard drivers.
