Hedphones not working with breakaway audio enhancer windows 7 drivers#
I'm using Realtek high definition audio and recently updated the drivers hoping this would fix it, to no avail.

The crackling happens when i play youtube video's or if i listen to internet radio, or use Winamp or Windows media player, and sometimes even with windows system sounds such as when you click to go into a folder. It can get worse than that at times though where it will pop and can distort the music. The crackling sound can best be described as like the sound of when one plays an LP and it kind of crackles at the start. I then began thinking it must be my speakers so i checked the connections, which seemed fine and them plugged in some headphones to listen for the crackling through them, and found the crackling was also happening throught the headphones so this must discount it being a problem with the speakers. I'm using windows 7 service pack 1 as my OS, and at first i thought the problem was with windows but now I'm not so sure, as the crackling will also happen on my VM using win 7 pro, and also Ubuntu (the only 2 OS installed on my VM).although they are set to use the host audio. For the past few months I've had a problem on my desktop PC, where for seemingly no reason after a few hours of being switched on, the sound will start crackling.
