    I recently purchased my Asus g73 about two weeks and had minimal problems until recently, but after about 5 minutes into launcing any game my speakers and headphones make a white noise popping sound. I was wondering if this had something to do with driver updates or something of the sort. If others are having this problem which I'm sure they arecould anyone point me in the direction of another thread that answers this problem, thanks.

    Can you track your temps when this happens? I'm suspecting some thermal heat is causing the soundchip to have errors.

    Is it sort of a crackling noise? I've heard that the only way to reliably get rid of it is to reinstall windows or RMA, I don't think we ever really figured out why the rare user got it.

    I've found something,....

    AFTER you exit a game, you have to wait 1 or 2 minutes to let the GPU (or maybe CPU ?) cools down and then you won't have any crackling noise issue with your speakers when playing windows sounds or others.
    It's the case with my G73, don't know if it's the case with yours ? Just try.

    Strange PC this G73 .....

    Oh, another thing, disable the windows sound scheme (set it on "no sound") before beginning with your game and this horrible speaker noise won't happened.

    It seems like this soundcard (or driver ?) encountered conflicts when playing windows sounds (you know: ding, dong, click, blop, pouet, etc.....) even in background during a game, my 2 cents ....

    (sorry for the mistakes in english)
