What you really need is a better snd crd then the one you have. The onboard snd really sucks. SoundBlaster or better. :yep:

A common solution worth trying, before doing something as drastic as purchasing new hardware, is to reduce the "hardware acceleration" setting on your audio device via the Windows control panel.

i'l try that geopson
and the same soundcard worked before for it

[Gapiro]

i turned it down to standard from full and it stil does it
Hm
i have all the latest drivers

Turn the hardware acceleration all the way off. Then you won't get the annoying screaching anymore. I had this problem with my SB live 5.1 .. installing the latest sb drivers fixed it for me.
