My computer is a small Acer netbook. I am getting crackling and popping in the audio when I look at videos on youtube and news sites. Any ideas what might be causing it? Possible fix? Thank you, drive through.

You possibly have a failing speaker. I have the same problem with an old Dell desktop and attached speakers, but I've found it goes away when I play videos that are physically located on the computer itself. I haven't tested different speakers, but I know my problem migrated when I moved the speakers from one computer to another. Updating the audio drivers didn't work for me. Also, one of my speakers is completely dead now.
Good luck! I'm interested to see how this gets resolved.

Speakers in the unit? Or external?
If in the unit, and you have a set of external plug them in and see if the problem still exists.

This^^^
A set off ear buds should work also.
What operating system?
If that fails check for a Acer site for a driver update.
Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling will work also.
It does it playing anything. Internal speakers. I have tried headphones and get the same sounds.

This may not end well for the computer.
I think I remember something about a size 13 shoe, or a gun.

I tried the Acer site. Downloaded a driver and it did the same. The sound also drags a little as well, so I don't think it's a speaker problem.
Yeah, well if I can ever figure out how to get my PC back online, my netbook better look out. lol

I don't know
I've run Linux for so long, I've forgotten how to "fix" Winehozed
You may have to Google up how to manually remove a driver, then re-install it. Look in the control panel "devices" first so you know what the thing "is" for hardware
Sometimes just reinstalling the drive does not "really" do that. This is the same deal, sometimes, you get a corrupted file. Sometimes you must actually fully delete the file before the new file will properly "take."
It might be something wrong with the hardware
And, ................you might have some process going on in the background causing so much activity that the thing just doesn't have the memory / resources to operate properly.

What be the problem there?
I have a wireless lan adapter on it that failed after a power outage and I misplaced the disc for it. I am gonna have to get another one. Although they are cheap, we cannot stand it at this point in time.
Which one, I might have one. I have a couple of the wireless devices here that are the same and I doubt I need two disks.
It's made by sinmax.
