CRJ_simpilot Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Are you installing just the driver and not all of the other stuff that comes with it like experience, etc? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Do you have another GPU for testing? Does the crackling, etc happen right away, or latter on? What is the GPU temp using GPUz? https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ Is your FPS locked to 25/30? If you go into the GPU control panel. Try to set maximum pre-rendered frames to 2. Download Autoruns, go to File and save the ARN file. Zip it and upload it here. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

tjs_1445 Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 The Crackling happens straight away. I have locked my FPS on FSX to 30. Ill try setting the pre-rendered frames to 2 and will upload the results from Autoruns. Merry Christmas by the way! Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjs_1445 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Ok, so my pc wont allow me to upload the .arn file for some reason. I tried uninstalling all addons with no luck. I'm beginning to run out of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The venetubo site is long dead, good, cause it didn't work anyway. What downwind said earlier about SP2 is not correct. Installing SP2 (and SP1 of course) will actually make fsx run better and with lower load on the pc. (it should however be installed on a clean fsx install, not on one with addons installed.) the sound issue could be because of: sound driver/sound settings/damaged audio cable to speaker. And the sound issue is probably causing the low fps, not the other way around. PS: Downwind, you may have a 3.2 ghz cpu as well. But is yours 16 year old? His is. He has an i5 650. But I thought your i5 has at least 4 digits in its name. (and is a lot more recent.) The first i5 was released in 2010. Your information is wrong and misleading. This processor is approximately 8 years old and the motherboard is probably about the same age. To the OP, You can not expect hardware to last forever. Heat and time takes it's toll on hardware. Putting money in to this old of a computer is like upgrading a model T and expecting it to do 100 miles per hour. Although this might be an easy fix I would have to ask, 1. Was it having sound problems before you put it in the shop? If not why are you not complaining to the repair shop that they created issues. 2. Does it have a separate sound card or are you using integrated sound? 3. You said you upgraded the power supply. What did you upgrade it to? 4. New Cooling system? Liquid cooled? I ask because this would have required them to remove the existing cooling solution and paste may not have been applied properly causing a heating issue. 5. Did you reinstall FSX after the upgrade or are you going on an install the was already on the machine before the upgrade? My first step would be to reinstall FSX fresh (if you did not do this already). If X-Plane runs without the sound issues then this proves the issue is within this certain piece of software. Good Luck and hope you get it sorted out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hurst Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Sound crackling issues are often linked to DPC latency. Google it for more info. A traditional fix that worked for me was to add this to your fsx.cfg: [bufferPools] PoolSize=10000000 MarkH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
