So I'm moving very cautiously back into the cockpit, afraid I'll crash and burn myself into the poorhouse with all the changes since I last flew. One question; I went into the game, on the startup screen, I get music and a crackling noise from my speakers. I test my sound outside ED and get nothing irregular, back in game it's Crackle City. I searched around for a solution, nothing worked, upped sound quality, etc, etc. I have a realtek soundcard,I haven't found anyone that has actually solved what I'm experiencing. Anyone here have this issue? If it was just music I'd be fine with shutting it off, but it's all sound. Thanks in advance for anyone who might help.
