When I play music through my speakers they start to go crackly after a little while, it only started happening today. I checked the line-in, the sub, the satellites, all the cables are fine, but this is bugging me. I can't afford a new pair of speakers.

They're Harman/Kardon HK395


.sup, please come back. if not, Freezer will have to do


Edit: after putting my headphones on, I've discovered it's not the speakers...soundcard maybe?

Did you put your headphones into the jack on the computer or on the speakers (if they have one)? If you plugged them into the speakers, all you've ruled out is that the problem doesn't lie in the amplifier or drivers.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Hmm, I took the soundcard out, and put it back in, and it's been fine for about 8 minutes
