God!!!! I'm so irritated right now!

Whenever I try to listen to music in media player it plays the song but with this annoying clicking noise in the background. It's the clicking noise you get on IE when you click a link.

What is it doing in Media Player and how do I destroy it in the most pleasing of ways?

Last time I saw that problem, it was an irq/dma issue with the soundcard

I've always had problems with my sound with this crappy MSI board.
It better not be playing up again, took me 3 weeks to get it to actually play any noise.

use a different audio player like winamp, see if it persists. if it doesnt, it's that stupid media guide thing, if it does, it's hardware.

I once had problems with my audio getting crackly, static clicking noises, etc. I threw a HS on my southbridge and it went away... try it.

the programs i use for my media:
Media Player Classic (for video's//clips)
Foobar (for almost every audio to knownman if it doesnt have it built in it has a plugin)

winamp i've noticed is extremely bulky and isn't much of an improvement if any over WMP.
