USB EDIT: Oh... also I'm thinking it might actually be a soundcard issue (maybe?) I noticed some crackling last night (without headphones plugged in) and a little lag spike today, will keep monitoring in the meantime, but it could be a possibility right? It is a 2008 (pre-dell) laptop lol

I know it's got to be something with the headphones (maybe a wire or the drivers?) but I cannot locate the problem. When I have headphones plugged in, it's a 50/50 chance they'll work fine, or they'll start to generate crackling/popping noise on my computer, and when the crackling gets worse I...

Just bumping, just in case.

For past 6months to a year now the computer is slowing down from time to time and the sound becomes all crackle-y and popping sounds, the computer lags at the same time during these moments, and at other times it's completely fine. All drives are up to date, still plenty of free space on the...

Okay so I just decided not to be a cheap lazy bum, and I'm off to pick up some Logitech G35's here in a few, so I'll get all the sound/mic needs I "need" lol.

Best bet: Don't bother buying an Alienware (pre-dell takeover they were pretty good I suppose). But MAIN reason why I say not to buy an alienware mainly: PRICE. If you're going to blow $2,000-4,000 on a computer might as well purchase the parts from NewEgg or Amazon and build a desktop. Be a...

Okay I'll get back to you sometime today, will test this out. But one thing I can tell you right now though is there's always a spot that's really hot, and loud fans (it's an Alienware...) and it does that since Day 1 when I bought it. But I'll check for airflow too, dust could be a problem I...

Apologize if this is in wrong topic, I don't know what to categorize this as, but I need help figuring out a problem. Although I have a few ideas what it might be, what I DON'T know is how to solve them or where to go... Before on same Windows 7 install, I was having no problems, but I wanted a...
