Popping sound when playing a DVD movies.<br /> <br /> I have two computers nearly identical Same k7S5a and Athalon 1800 CPU. Computer A uses the On board sound (SIS), Computer B uses a sound blaster live card. and both have over 500 mb of ram and plenty of disk space. both are running XP Pro. <br /> <br /> When playing back a music CD the sound is perfectly clear but the DVD sound is garbbled and there is a back ground popping noise.... I took the drive out and put it in a known good system and the DVD sound was perfect so I know the DVDROM drive is fine.<br /> <br /> It can't be the sound card or the on board audio...because they produce the same kind of back ground popping.<br /> <br /> The Drives are set up Master Slave. The Master being the DVD and the slave being the writer.<br /> <br /> I am at a loss her folks...Could it be possible that two mother boards could be bad?<br /> <br /> as a side notes: <br /> 1. the picture quality is perfect.<br /> 2. I used different DVDs<br /> 3. the poping noise does reduce when turning down the treble. But the audio is very garbeled...<br /> 4. when playing an Audio cd the sound is loud and clear...when playing DVD the sound is low...abnormally low.<br /> <br /> Thanks for any help!<br /> <br />
