Jan 30, 2009 07:36 am probably overdriving the input on the computer interface. digital clipping sounds terrible, all scratchy, etc.
Try and turn down the level of output from the amp line out, if you can. Or maybe drop the master volume if there is one.

Jan 30, 2009 11:14 am that did not help.it's not the sound of clipping.it's high frequency crackling!

Feb 01, 2009 02:03 pm How are you getting the audio into the PC? Are you using an audio interface or the on board sound card?

Integrated stuff can't handle something like an overdriven guitar.

Feb 02, 2009 05:51 pm Yep, what pjk said then.
Sorry to say, but the little sound chip that is built into all MoBo's is not up to the task of recording things like that.
But as pjk stated you can try and turn things down a bit and see if that helps.
And as BH stated, if you can upload a sample of what you are hearing it would help immensely.
