I installed XP perfectly fine on this little render farm of mine but the only problem that I have encountered is this popping screechign sound that happens when I play music. It happens constantly and it's pissing me off! Arrrgh! I installed the XP drivers well .. it did it by itself but then I used my original drivers off a cdrom. but it still pops! any help?

Yeah, I get wierd noises through my speakers now that I didn't have with 2000. I have a sweet set of cambridge 5.1 speakers and the accompanying 5.1 live sound card. Sounds like $1.50 at the moment! Sounds got weird in Diablo 2 also. I downloaded the newest xp driver from creative but was no help.

One of the XP patches you can download in windows upgrade addresses a popping noise. This may help. (There are 6 or 8; not all may apply.)

If you get wierd noises from your soundcard then mute the CD audio in the Volume Controll, this would do the trick!

I found out the solution.

Go to Deivce Mangler then go to the properties of the CDROM in which you play CD audio from, select the properties tab, then uncheck that damn option for "enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device.

Causes pops, clicks, etc.

Apparently Micro$oft thinks everybody uses the digital audio connector on their CDROMs rather than the regular ATAPI audio out connection.

Try turning off the Mic Boost in the volume control panel under advanced microphone. or just muting the microphone.
