Speakers crackling

[DaelpixPhotos]

I only got these Logitech z200 speakers for xmas and they're crackling already. Just one problem after another.

I'd take them back.

Is it because they were cheap ? £27 ?

Have you tried plugging them into something else, like an iPod for example, to prove that the crackling is the speakers and not the PC (or whatever)?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Ah. Trying it on my Samsung S3 and they're working perfectly fine.
So....... what can I do?


Video of sound .....Not sure if this will work.... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152095208857973&notif_t=video_processed

I think you probably have privacy settings on facebook. How about photobucket instead?

Try the link now. I set it to public

 

[tom_gr7]

how have you connected them to your system? straight to the motherboard?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Nope. Too technical for me.

I've tried connecting the cable to the monitor to use its own speakers and they're still the same.

My Realtek hd driver is out of date. How do I update it?

I misread your message tom ? What do you mean?

The cable is connected to the green socket on the back of the computer?

 

[ubuysa]

Nope. Too technical for me.

Visit Realtek and download the appropriate driver from there.

I've already been on that site But I'm unsure which one to select. I guess its the 2nd one down? I'm downloading it and its taking 1 hour!!!!!

[tom_gr7]

what version f windows are you running? 7? 8? or 8.1?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Tried installing the file after it downloaded. But it said that the file had been corrupted What do I do now?

 

[Tom DWC]

Sounds like it didn't download properly.

What's your motherboard model? The latest Realtek audio drivers for the board are usually available on the ASUS website.

 

[Tom DWC]

Oops just spotted it in your sig.

Just select 'Driver & Tools' then the OS from here and they should be available under audio:

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87MPLUS/#support

The download speed off the ASUS servers is usually pretty good.

 

[tom_gr7]

Like tom says download from ASUS. ah blast, tom beat me

This should be your mobo, - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87MPLUS/#support

CLick, drivers, select your version on windows. then down to audio, then download and install it.


Probably best to remove the old drivers first though. control panel, hardware and sound, device manager, then down to sound, right click on the realtek on, and unnistall it, then install the new ones fresh.

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Still doesn't work. I'm getting fed up now

 

[tom_gr7]

as you are using new drivers, i would expect it to be a setting issue somewhere.

have you accessed the realtek control panel?

Realtek Audio Manager?
