Hello Pete, Have you tried configuring your computer to use the Delta44 for 'regular' Windows sound processing rather than your on-board soundcard, and then seeing if audio from music cd's, or the typical Windows beeps 'n bops sounds normal or is distorted?
Alternatively, (or additionally) you could configure PowerSDR to use your on-board card temporarily, just to see if the crackle is still present. 73, Dale WA8SRA [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >The computer I use with my SDR-1000 recently took either a ligtning hit or a >power surge, such that the motherboard had to be replaced.
