Crackling music

[bigdavecox90]

Trying to listen to music on my laptop and this problem has just started, never did it before.

Whether it be in Youtube or in iTunes....music is crackling like it is struggling to play almost? If it was just Youtube I could understand but iTunes aswell?

If the music is crackling then its most likely something is wrong your speakers.

Hmmm...it's not even just the music it's sound as a whole.

Definitely your speakers then.

Definitely your speakers then.

Built in laptop speakers...

So that means all new laptop?

[Kyle!]

If your really that bothered you can by external speakers for the laptop, or headphones.

stick headphones in, does it work fine?

Mine does this when the music is too loud. Try headphones, if its still crackling then it could be your soundcard maybe?

No, just new speakers.

see im having the same problem when i have anything plug in speakers, headset and headphone so i guess its my onboard sound given up so new sound card is the way forward for me.

Feedback from your mobo most likely, i get it (needs a sound card urgently)

[bigdavecox90]

Sounds stupid but I restarted my laptop and the problem was solved. :S

I also get it when for some reason my cpu's second core is on full load, restarting or sleep mode fixes it
