Speakers crackle - Optiplex 745 - Windows XP Pro

My speakers crackle terribly.  I have tried the trouble shooting, the volume settings, and installing new drivers.  I even upgraded the bios.  My sound card is SoundMAX-Integrated-Digital-HD and I got the drivers from the manufacturer.  What can I do?

You should only use the Dell supplied SoundMax Drivers.  We have found, on here, that in most cases non-Dell drivers will either not work or not work correctly.

Have you verified that it's the PC? e.g. have you connected a headset to the GREEN speaker jack?

HERE is the Dell sound drivers.

Thank you!  I used your link to get the Dell drivers and that seems to have worked.  I had uninstalled and installed drivers that I had gotten from the manufacturers sites a half dozen times and none of them worked this well!:emotion-15:
