Audio playback is extremely distorted, sounds like I have blown speakers. Music pops, screaches, crackles, etc...
If I switch to KDE desktop and play the same music files, everything sound great, no problems at all.
I have a P5VD2-X motherboard and I am using the onboard audio.
Under media director, the audio settings are set to C3, Sound Card: Standard Sound Card, SPDIF Coax, and AC3 Pass-Through is checked.
I have tried other setting and nothing seems to fix the problem.
If anyone has any suggestions, I could use the help.
thanks
