    Hey, I've noticed that with my laptop the sound quality through my headphones is pretty poor, with weird crackling noises and stuff even when no sound at all is playing.. I don't suppose there's anything that i could do? It's not the headphones (no problem with my mp3 player) but i presume it's just a crappy port or soundcard or something.... (It's a Dell Vostro 1500)


    Anything I could do?
