distortion on laptop speakers and headphone please help anyone?

[font="verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248)"]hi everyone
[font="verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248)"]well at the moment just getting started and  using laptop audio so i thought at the start i'd use headphones out of the audio jack on it..been messing all night setting things up connecting my RD700SX ( only works midi with generic as no drivers available) and have got sound coming through but its distorted even when the levels are really low ( not Peaking in red)..so distorted in headphones and computer speakers when unplugged. [font="verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248)"]is this because i am not using an audio interface and the  laptop sound card cant cope do you think? as a matter of fact speakers are distorting without midi keyboard attached but only with x2 open..
[font="verdana, arial, tahoma, calibri, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248)"]any ideas people??

    I doubt changing from 32bit SONAR to 64bit will help. Sounds like a problem configuring internal audio chip. Here is the link to configure realtek http://www.cakewalk.com/S...spx?dm=mme&man=Realtek You could also try ASIO4ALL, it might help. Best solution is an external audio interface.

    do you run your ferrari on cheap fuel / tyres ? 

    treat yaself to a soundcard designed for pro audio.... ir doesn't have to cost the earth.. but it does have to be fit for purpose.. it's a false economy to skimp on such a thing.

    you may find the issues are because of buffer / latency problems that on board cards simple can't deal with.. some programs are "sympathetic" to on-boards, but it's still not the best solution
