~*~Queen Serenity~*~ · 04-13-2007, 05:24 PM

it seems to only happen when something or more specifically a dvd is played... ive tried cleaning my dvd drive, i even bought a special cd with a lense cleaner brush thingys on it, and it still smegging does it! i only have 1 dvd drive on my comp cos i cba to buy another 1, and its really annoyin cos it means i cant watch anything without it distorting the sound ans people sound like theyre under water... grrrrrrrrr... any suggestions?

You can go to bes buy and get a CD port that's separate and you just have to plug into the comp. I don't know how much they cost now but my dad got one for me for about $500 in 1998.

You're using the PC to play DVD's correct?

Sometimes, CDs / DVD interfere with speakers on a PC, causing limited distortion to the sound. In the case of your computer, it seems to be a little more excessive than that.

I suggest just using your PS2 instead.

Or whatever you can play DVDs on.

And you might want to check and make sure that no things like cell phones, pagers, any type of recievers are near the speckers.

Then it might be the program you're using to watch the dvds fault. Are you using the program that came with the computer for dvds? Have you tried it on another program like UltraPlayer, Windows media player, Nero, etc...?
