I apologize for the formatting, nothing I do seems to fix it.Hi OldGrayGary, I seemed to have fixed the crackling noise sometimes heard in videos just by unplugging 2 of my dvd drives sata ports. I can unrealistically play 6 videos and run a game and audio will not drop out on me.As I was playing the 6 videos latencymon reported :Your system seems to be having difficulty handling real-time audio and other tasks. You may experience drop outs, clicks or pops due to buffer underruns. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup.
