    Dell 1569 speaker crackling, but only with online or media center audio content. Cd's and DVD's speakers are fine. Why?

    As stated in the Title. When I go to Hulu, use Windows Media Center or other online audio content, the speakers crackle, even at low volume. Now, if I pop in a CD or DVD in the computer there is absolutley no crackling at all, even at its highest setting.

    What could be going wrong that this is only an issue when I am listening to online/Media Center content?

    Sounds like a browser or internet connection problem.

    The proof that your speaker is okay is in its playing other input based content just fine.

    Try upgrading your firefox/IE.
    Have only that one window open and see it that is the problem.
    There are settings you can tweak that will free up resources in your browser.

    Pm me if you are interested in these registry and firefox tweaks that make a difference.

    Good Luck.
