Skyrim causes sound to cut out on whole computer sound after a while

[aquanox69]

Basicly ill be playin for about 20 min then on a load screen and sometimes randomly in game but mostly on load screens it will make crackling sounds then a high pitched sound comes up and my sound is that noise wether i turn the game off or on changin sound options and settings in windows wont change the sound i have to restart the whole computer i have tried settin the frequencies. Updating drivers changin speaker to 2 speakers rather then 5.1 when i run teh game. Its startin to get rather irritating

The crackling sound could be a bad connection causing a short (or sometime a bunch of dust will do this too....)

Or possibly something in one of your fans? Even a small amount of dust can cause fans to squeal...

 

The first thing I would do is blow out my case and check all the connections.

Then I would try updating my audio drivers, maybe check to see if the problem you are experiencing is a known issue with your sound card?

Some people have problems using anything above 16 bit options, you might try lowering your htz rate. (like 16 bit 48000 hz) or disabling the sound blaster enhancements.

 

The crackling you describe is worrisome, though...an electrical short can kill your whole computer. I would thoroughly rule that out first.

It can indeed, an electrical short, that is what did for my rig recently. And I did get a noise, although as a one off but not regularly like the OP seems to.

Check all your mains electrical connections - if you have a number of devices I hope you have a surge tower in good working order.

Install some decent programs that check the temperatures of your components as that may be something that can point at electrical damage, if you are overheating. Gamebooster can do this and also CoreTemp is very reliable as regards your CPU temps. Just before my rig fail for example CoreTemp reported my old CPU was idling at 57C which is not good in a Coolermaster HAF X case that is like a fridge. By contrast it shows my new CPU as idling at 16C and 25C under load. So install the programs and check around with the manufacturers and on the netz as to what the maximum acceptable temps for your components are. If they are exceeding the max, then you could have damage.

 

Do you ever have problems booting your PC in general, not just in relation to games?
