    Intel 865 PERL

    Recently i had to replace my MB and the guys replaced it with this one. I have noticed when it boots up there is like a static noise coming through the speakers just as it does the final things with XP. When i listen to music there is also a lot of "clicks" inbetween. I spoke to another friend of mine who also has an Intel and the same problem. Is this the MB's fault or just a setting? I will be adding an external amp and speakers at the end of the month and was wondering if it is the MB, if it would make a difference if i add a DAC between the pc and the amp?

    Thanks

    Did you reinstall XP after swapping out your motherboard? If you switched between makes/models/versions of motherboards, the OS won't have the correct drivers for the new motherboard.

      Yes,
      I reinstalled XP and the updates. I am not sure if there is a driver that I need to update for the motherboard.

      Thanks

        hey Kemp,

        sometimes thats interrupt related - make sure you have both the latest MB drivers and audio drivers - you can find both on intels website.

        It's likely interrupt related if it co-incides with other activity (moving the mouse, network io, etc...

        If you are willing to invest money to fix it, look at the sound blaster audigy(2?) series cards - they'll have better s/n ratios than built in sound, plus reviews show that the built in sound gives about a 5-8% performance hit, so upgrading to an audigy will give you better performance too. most of the cards are internal, but they offer an external USB version.
