    I have a E1705 and whenever i play the C&C3 demo or the battlefield 2 demo there is an obnoxious crackling noise.

    No other games do this and even if i mute the speakers it still happens.

    Anyone know what's up?


    On a side note i looked it up on EA forums and they said there was a problem but none of their solutions fixed it.

    Perhaps its a flaw in the game/demo itself?

    If you check most of the EA forums out there, most ppl have problems w/Vista...I'm not sure if you have Vista...I have problems with NBA Live 07, but other ones are fine...
