Crackling/Popping Sound regardless of output method! USB-Soundcard.
-
@yuke I meant that I thought buying an external soundcard was a waste of money, because there barely wasn't any difference between the build in jack and the one from the soundcard. But like I said, that was when I already messed around with different settings to fix the issues with the build in jack.
I'm using a Speedlink Vigo by the way. -
Yeah but what sound issues did you have?
And btw i was testing out three different 3.5mm cables between 20 and 50 cm and there was no difference at all. I think everything under 1 meter will be ok...
-
@yuke Oh, i was having random crackling sounds and constant buzzing. After the new installation, the crackling was gone, but there still was a slight buzzing.
And I don't think that the length of the 3.5mm cable matters, mine is 3 meters. Although I'm only using some cheap in ear headphones so there still might be some noise but I'm happy now. -
@yuke If your sound card is being powered by the pi it could well be a simple ground loop. You can get a 3.5mm jack ground loop eliminator which would solve that for a few quid on eBay. You’d need to try powering the sound card from a separate power supply and see if that confirms?

thats a good idea i guess and worth trying out

in case i decide to reinstall my pi2scart retropie image:
this is the way to go for usb backup (+ starting games from usb stick in the fture)?

@fruitybit said in Crackling/Popping Sound regardless of output method! USB-Soundcard.:
ground loop eliminator
that saved me a couple of times now

ok funny thing i noticed while backupping my sd card to usb.
the sound problems got worse while the data was transfered to my usb stick. what does that mean?
-
Ok can please anyone just tell me if my Pi is just broken?
I found an hdmi splitter in the darkest corner of my room and did output the sound over its stereo jack (Its and HDMI -> Component/RCA/Stereo-Jack Splitter) and i still have the sound issues.
Anyone? Please?

retropie image reinstallation helped. what can i do to prevent this from happening tho?
-
Well. Here i am again. Was playing the whole evening and the soundproblems have started again. Its like a degradation over time or something. I know it was perfectly fine after reinstalling the image, was testing it for quite some time out.
What can be the reason for such a weird problem? Like gimme anything you have. Far-fatched or not i dont mind.
