Cracking sound after a while of gaming

Hi everyone!

I come here to seek your assistance in my quest towards solving this ever so annoying issue with my sound card.

I just bought a new computer, Acer Aspire 4755G;
8GB DDR3
GeForce GT540M 2gb
i7-2630QM 2ghz


The issue:
After a while of gaming, or just leaving the computer on for a while, the sounds start cracking, slowly building up more and more. It starts of with a little bit of annoying cracks and increases with time.
As soon as I restart the computer it's all normal again for a while, until it starts off again.

Tried following solutions(after googling a lot on the issue):

Installed, Reinstalled drivers.
Downloaded different drivers (Some guy who had a link to a driver that solved everyone elses issue, except mine of course...)
Current Version: 6.0.1.6348

It's not my speakers, I have tried 3 different speakers and they all give the sound.
I have also disconnected everything to my computer, since it's a laptop, and played straight from the computers speakers, where the cracking sound still appears, thus not an external issue.

Only thing I can think of is a driver issue but having tried a lot of different drivers, installing them in safe mode and what not, I can still not seem to get it to work.

So please, honored geeks, help a fellow companion!

Thanks in advance for any assistance given

Hi Jonas and welcome to MG's,

have you tried the 32bit win7 realtek driver??

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

accept the agreement and on the next page choose high def codecs, try installing the 32bit driver (top one) it may be a bit more stable.

 

To late in editing last post....

Here is the link to your systems driver page if you haven't already come across it......

how long have you owned this laptop?? could you not contact Acer support for assistance as they may could already be working on a fix for this issue !! if it is a new machine then surely you should not be having issues with audio or any integral part of the pc.

 

Hi and thanks for the quick replies!

I have contacted Acer who gave me the lovely response of doing a system recovery, which I know is not the issue after reading this thread, now waiting for yet another response that doesn't involve complete reinstallation of windows which seem to be their standard procedure for solving issues :

The issue still persists, but when turning internet off it disappears, just like mentioned in one of the comments in that thread that I just linked.
What I got out of it is that he never managed to solve it, but some people did but everyone had different solutions and neither work for me.
I've also contacted realtek support while waiting for response.

I will try the 32 bit drivers in a few hours when I get back and I shall give you a response on whether they work or not, my system is Windows 7 ultimate btw, which I seem to have forgotten to mention.

But yeah its very strange that it disappears when internet is turned off, so somehow there is a conflict between the internet adapter and the sound card, I don't know how.
