Vista Forums - View Single Post - ALC889A, Vista x64, Speaker Fill = rear speakers distorted

**denzilla** · 02-04-2009

I just recently upgraded from 2GB to 4GB of RAM on my Vista x64 box and started having sound issues playing Netflix. The sound would crackle and cut out watching videos. At first I though it was a connection issue, but tried WMP and noticed some distortion playing certain mp3s and a little random crackle noise in the background. Re-installing the sound drivers fixed the cutting out, but some mp3s still have a little muffling and distortion. Has there been any real proof that this is indeed a problem isolated to Vista x64 PCs with 4GB of RAM?
