    hey guys..
    i just realised that when playing a soft clear song on iTunes, there's a crackling sound going on behind the song. i noticed it recently coz its hard to notice when listening to heavier types. ive heard about this problem before, but ive not heard of a proper solution on those threads, and i couldnt find anything recent...so im posting this again, hoping someone can help me. i got this computer downgraded to XP Pro, as i mentioned above.. anything i can try, apart from getting a new soundcard or something major. thank you!

    it has only happened 3 times through my 2 years of owning this laptop.

    from my research it has something to do with interference. perhaps the wires got too close to the wifi at one point.
