| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00  | Hey wise fellows, I just installed 128 megs of RAM into my Sony VAIO PC (191 total now, Windows 98). It runs quicker, but I am having audio problems when I listen to mp3's or use a soundboard. The sound pops all the time. I thoughy by adding more RAM this problem would be remedied. Any suggestions? Thanks TDDB  Jim Norton Fans | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | Installation of RAM should have no bearing on any audio problems. If anything, check to make sure the audio card is properly seated in its slot, and that all cable connections are correct. Also, if there is a lot of dust on the card, wipe it carefully using a dry cloth (or a PC dusting spray can, if you have any).

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 02 | Popping noise in Audio can come from a number of different things... In MP3's the most common thing is that the audio wasn't ripped/encoded properly and the pop is now part of the MP3. No hardware tweak will fix that. In other areas it could be your speakers, interference from an outside source (cb, cell phone, cordless phone), or it just might be a bad sound card.  May Teh Funny Be With You | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | Hey thanks guys. I am guessing it has to do with the insane amount of dust inside my hard drive. I shall clean it ASAP Thanks TDDB Jim Norton Fans | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: I hope you do not mean that literally. For the less tech-savvy out there, dust cannot get inside your hard drive-- every drive is vacuum-sealed. If you open up your hard drive in order to "dust" it, you will expose the information platters to air, which will ruin the hard drive completely.
