    Weird Windows sound problem

    is any of the sound devices set to "allow devices to take exclusive control of this device"if so deselecting this option in sound properties may fix your issue.sounds like one or the other is taking priority of a sound device.

    How can I tell what's wrong with my Klipsch speakers?

    yup using deoxit in the volume pot could be a solution as well. just to add to see if this could be your problem.start some music playing on them,and wiggle the volume knob.if you get intermittent sound that is your issue.

    Scythe SDAR-2100 amplifier

    How can I tell what's wrong with my Klipsch speakers?

    the terrible static and popping you are hearing is dc voltage.that isnt clipping,that is when the output is driven to 10% distortion levels,and the sign wave becomes a square wave.the noise you are hearing is a sign of toasted output transistors.

    Asus Xonar DX PCI express sound card not working

    personally my first thought is to reinstall your video drivers.ive seen this issue discussed to death at the evga forum.the hdmi audio part of your video card usually is the cause.install the video driver only,and not the sound part.
