Hello Guys !!!

purposely draw this diagram & need help from all experts !!! i have a sound problem if i output my display to my TV, the sounds seems to be like "pak" "pak" CRACKING SOUND every few seconds !!! at first i thought it was my speaker gone bad... but when i output my display to my PC monitor, the annoying sound is gone !!! HELP !!!!!



update
1. My Audio Cable is good & nicely connected
2. System already updated to latest DRIVERS
3. I'm using a DVI - HDMI adapter to my TV
4. The "Pak" "Pak" sound came out from my Altec Lancing Speakers

can be static on the mb

Where is the sound coming from? The tv speaker? The AL speaker? Or from the connector?

You are using DVI to HDMI converter to connect ur TV. Therefore, I suggest you to mute your TV sound system (if the "pak pak" sound come from your tv).

Static on the MB ? but when i disable the output to my TV but to my PC monitor, the sound stops !!! any idea?



The sound is coming from ALL my SPEAKERS (Altec Lancing), for your information there is no sound output from my PC to my TV Speakers. any idea?



yes, you are right, im using a DVI to HDMI converter + HDMI cable to obtain an output from my GRAPHIC CARD (8800GTS 512MB) to my TV... for your information there is no sound output from my PC to my TV Speakers. any idea?

Thanks for all help ! but now im still HEADACHE !

at the moment im suspecting my HDMI cable is LOUSY & cause all the INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI) problems to my speakers....

any input would be highly appreciated!

does your gfx support Internal High Definition Audio Bus? if no.. then don't bother it anymore.

i think it was the sound cable loose... try to check every connected cables.

My Graphic Card is SORELY for graphic output only, all audio is from my motherboard



Sound cable is good & firm!

Try MONSTER CABLE mate..

Since The Speaker Is Connected From PC..

So It's Not Related With Your TV LCD

But Possible You Get Sound From TV?

Mayybe Crash?

Added on July 24, 2008, 1:06 pmActually HDMI Cable Can Output Sound Also

That cost like hell !!!!!!!!



My TV is confirm new & good !

This sounds like a frame rate syncing problem. Does the "pak pak" sound gap identical each time, or does it drift?

Depending on what software you use, try to change the output sample rate until the "pak pak" disappear.

Try this -

Uninstall your sound card driver, with the audio control panel that comes with it. Reboot, reinstall the driver ONLY, not the audio control panel that comes with it.

See if you got the problem again. Audio control panel sometimes create problems like that

the "pak" "pak" cracking sound seems coming in randomly... and very identical !!!
output sample rate? please help !!! thanks !!!



i will try that tonight and see how ! thanks !!!

im certain that ur HDMI cable not properly insulated and interference from outside is causing the issue.

Are you using on board audio or external sound card? If so i would suggest that you use external sound card connect to your AL speaker. The distortion sound may due to your on board sound interfered by noise.

guys, im using BOARD AUDIO ! im now thinking of interference too !!! i will try my best to find out ! thanks !!

without your setup.. why not throw few hundred to get a good sound card.
have a full HD display but without a good sound...
wat a waste

i don't mind to get a new external sound card, but the problem is here

Display output to PC monitor = SOUND OK
Display output to Sony Bravia = SOUND PROBLEM

how ?

any more engineers out there???

try to uninstall the 3d card drive and download the newest driver .. maybe this can help...
i think this is software problem..
maybe windows also cause this type of problem

Added on July 24, 2008, 9:41 pmactually ur setup is a waste with using a vs4121.
get a better speaker to enjoy full HD

im thinking of getting Sony Bravia Theater - 5.1 channel sound ! but i must fix my problem 1st !

Well, not an expert myself. But I'm not going to ask you to format or reinstall drivers or things of that sort.

Tried the TV on another computer?

And one more question that might help you.
Did you disable HDMI audio output to your TV?
Yes, I know you said no sound coming from TV.
But could this be the problem where the TV is actually supposed to output sound?

distance of
- PC to TV?
- Speakers (Sub especially) to TV?
- length of HDMI cable?

and also..Operating system used? recently been using the living room HDTV to view animes and some minor gaming..so far works for me.HDMI outputs both audio and video right o_O? If for vista, we need to set the HDMI audio as default or not there will b no sound coming out from the tv.

Bro ! teach me How to disable HDMI audio output to my TV ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio! and things like that ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio!u said could this be the problem where the TV is actually supposed to output sound... hmmm... that makes sense too ! i will take note ! TQ !



PC to speaker is less than 1 Metre, Speaker to TV is less than 1 Metre, Cable is also less than 1 Metre



Im using VISTA ! how to set HDMI audio and things like that ??? coz actually my 8800GTS is not OUTPUTTING any audio! audio is mainly from my MB !

I have no problem with my set up:

- Audio + video both via HDMI/ 3870 to TV
- Audio via HDMI enable as default output
- Vista x64 Ultimate
- HDMI cable 1.5m (complimentary freebie from TV purchase)

Could it be driver or set up problem with your current set up?

i guess your ATI 3870 is SPDIF enable card !!! so it can transport audio through it... don't forget what card im using, im using GEFORCE 8 series bro!

help !!!

Just a question eh TS... What kind of video are you running when you get this problem?

well,go to the speaker setting and choose HDMI audio as default I attach a picture here..since recently been using HDTV as my output ooh yeah, not outputting audio? I guess the SPDIF cable from the video card to the soundcard is not connected. ATI cards mostly has built in Audio chip in it

worrr..new info for me..hehehehe.. TQ

Thx for the snippet

Nice desktop u got there

TS are u running rmvb,avi file from computer?
if yes.. try reinstall K-Lite codec
It worked for me because b4 im also facing same problem as u!
after reinstalled the k-lite codec everything is fine

hello, TS !
how much u bought ur 40S400A?
and which Home Theatre? DVD Home Theatre??
and what is monster cable? better than HDMI?

"Pak Pak" sound like electric sound? Ur PSU enough power or not? Since u r using GF8800, U should upgrade the PSU also.

bro, im running mp3, videos, gaming !!!! everything that related to sound output seems to have that pak pak sound ! damn !



I know ATI cards have build in SPDIF (unlike Nvidia cards that needs a SPDIF digital connection to the mobo to get AUDIO out through DVI)... but my main concern is i don't need audio though HDMI ! i just want my Audio out from my PC rear panel !



you mean latest K-Lite Codec ? i tried that already and still same !




i bought my Bravia in Sony Style for RM4750 (3 yrs warranty + 1 HD DVD player + 1 lightning surge protector + 1 nice SONY BAG)
bro, im not using MONSTER CABLE ! im using original sony HDMI cable only lah !



yes, this Pak Pak seems to be like STATIC sound problem... my PSU is 800W Gigabyte ODIN GT ! (bought it RM675)

RM4750 ???????
SonyStyle selling Rm4999 and that 1 is HDMI DVD player...
how can u get that price?? which sony style??


addon : i understand y u say rm4750..because of the point..haha...they gave u 250 points...

ur psu power is certainly more than enuff
maybe u could bang on ur friend door and browor thier HDmI cable..just to rule that ur hdmi cable not kong..

Have you mute the other sound like mic sound and other non-related sound?

i guess ur rear panel audio connector is not connected to the soundcard thingie of the mobo. most likely might b due to the soundcard? onboard tend to not work that good.

Guys, really thank you for all the precious advices !

but now im going to change my Graphic Cards to GTX 200 series...

will update all when my card arrive tomorrow !
