Hi

Please turn off the CAPS - it is the same as shouting on forums

Have you tried updating the sound drivers ?

 

Hi if you have updated the drivers for your sound and the problem is still there, it may be something in the background hogging resources rather than a problem with the sound system itself.
How much RAM memory do you have, what is the processor, and also what are you using for antivirus and firewall, those last can really hog resources.

Hi, Sorry for the caps, no shouting intended, just easier for me to see. Thanks for all of your suggestions.I think i have solved my problem. I seems the culprit was my back up drive, I unpluged it this morning and viola no more distortion! Guess I'll only plug it in once a week or so and un plug it after back up is complete.Once again many thanks to all, Guy

 

Good news and glad you found it, I like the simple answers.
Thanks for letting us know.
