mobo is an asus p4c800-e deluxe

1gb ram
120gb maxtor HDD
ati radion 9600se video card

like i sed im verry confused about this ...the crackleing is there all the time no matter what player i use, and the lowd HISSSSSing is onley there when i use WMP, MPC or the built in player in ares p2p...

im in the process of setting up an RMA with asus....this just dosent seem normal...

i thot just adding a sound card would fix it but i googled and found that other people are getting this from both the onbored AND the sound card.... :/
