UNFORTUNATELY i DON'T HAVE A WIRED OPTION. HOPE THERE IS ANOTHER WAY TO GET RID OF THE CRACKLING! ----- Original Message ----- From: Sara To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2008 11:24 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Slightly OT The Airport Report Hi all. I was experiencing the same problem with crackling in Windows on my Mac so thought I would disable Airport and use ethernet and see if I still get crackling. I am not 100% sure because I didn't test it for long, but I think the crackling when two sounds happen together like an msn alert over speech is a little less with wireless turned off. I think you have to turn the whole card off to try this so you go vo space twice then arrow to the airport menu and choose turn airport off. Of course you will need ethernet to still use your network. Too bad I am wired again! I might as well leave wireless off. Sara
