I've been hanging around this thread since launch, but suddenly... I have no crackling any more as of this morning. Like, zero.
Now, unless EA/BioWare pulled a sneaky and changed something – I only see Patch 4 released on 4 December – the only change I made was as follows, after last testing it at the end of December and uninstalling again: I added an identical stick of 16 GB memory to my existing 1 x 16 GB in order to take advantage of dual channel mode. That's it. Now it works.
I will return if it starts up again.
Good for you! If the issue is hardware related, additional RAM may reduce the load on the CPU. I you are using virtual memory, your system will use your harddrive when there is insufficient RAM, slowing down the system by a lot - so more RAM helps a lot. (Virtual memory may sound cool, but real memory is way better.) Actually, if the problem is hardware-related closing a background-program or even updating a faulty driver may be sufficient to solve the sound-issue - but only if you are nearly there.
I buy games to play and enjoy them. Spending hours tweaking my system to be able to play is no fun unless I am paid to do so.
Good for you! thinking you know everything mr smarty pants. Way to go xD
