Ok this past weekend I noticed that my sound was snapping and popping in WoW. Mostly when the music gets really loud like after you complete a quest.

Ok so I start messing around with my settings, nothing changed it was still there only it started in the Ambient sounds and other stuff.

I download the latest drivers for my sound card. Still nada. Load up EQ2, no problem there only in WoW.

I recently (last week) downloaded the newest vid card drivers and shortly after is when I noticed this. Is it possible that my vid drivers are affecting my sound? Anyone have a suggestion? It's frustrating :(

ehhh no one have an idea? :(

Sound acceleration in DirectX? It's certainly possible.

I have no idea what that means :(

I did try installing Directx9.c though, and the same thing happens. Suggestions are welcome, I will try anything at this point.

In DXDiag, on the SOUND tab, you can set the hardware acceleration level. Turn it off and see if the problem persists.

nope didn't help :(

I went through the all the tests on the dxdiag window and they all passed. but as soon as I loaded wow and got to the login screen my sound started snapping and popping :(

BTW, I got this working. I had to tell SoundMax I was using speakers and not headphones in order for it work with WoW. Odd indeed =\ I didn't have a problem in any other game lol just WoW. It's fixed and I'm happy now :D Thanks for the input.

Wait wait wait


WoW has music?
