My pc is homemade - built in 2000 but a little more than a year ago my computer man installed a new motherboard so nothing in my computer should really be a problem. The whole year long I was blamiing my speakers for this irritating noise until recently I realized that it was only happening with dvd's so I did install new codecs - TWICE! I think the first download may not have been up to date but nevertheless neither download worked. I uninstalled the driver you said, rebooted my computer and sure enough a new and improved driver did install [Ultra DMA Mode 2] and now the sound is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
