Static/hiccups in all audio
Hey guys,
I have an 18 month old Dell Vostro 3400, and lately my audio has been corrupted by sporadic bursts of noise (not just sound but actual random noise) through any audio source, both headphones and speakers. This problem has popped up occasionally for short periods over the past year, but now I can't get more than 5 seconds of sound without interference- doesn't matter what program the sound is coming from.
The static also seems to go hand in hand with a screen lag- when I play fullscreen games the static will come and the game screen will freeze and resume where the controls have taken the camera during that brief period (so the game doesn't freeze). Same sometimes happens while typing, the text will not appear and then it will all show up a bit later.
The visuals are a smaller issue that came well after the static issue got serious, so it may be unrelated, or not, any ideas?
Thanks!
