Audio Card question

So I just got a new laptop. I downloaded the demo of Crysis. It works absolutely perfectly except one thing. The audio in both is like crackly or like staticy it like crackles. I assume its because my audio card is not good enough. Like I can hear but there's a lot of static and cracking. Is there any way to fix this. I didn't want to have to buy a new audio card. Can't you like turn down the sound quality for the game? I looked in both games and couldn't find that option. I really wanna buy Crysis but I won't buy it if I can't fix the audio. Or is there like a way to upgrade your audio card over the internet. Can neone help me out? Is it even an audio card issue at all?

Pc Hardware is that way :arrow:

There's a sound quality option is in the advanced tab (not the audio one which only controls volume). You could also try installing newer audio drivers, if you havený already.

how do I install those

they usually come as run-once installers. i'm not at all familiar with what sound devices laptops use and you didn't specify your hardware, but the website of your laptop's manufacturer should be a good place to start looking for the latest drivers available to you.

what if tht doesnt work then wut? how do I play Crysis

neone?
