Windows 7 Plagued with constant audio noise
I often record programmes from on-line radio but they are marred with constant audio noises in the background consisting of pops, clicks crackles and whistles. It seems to be worse when there's processor and network activity (like when recording) and appears to change when the display changes...- Deckky
