Why does the Gamecube make the TV crackle?

[Jimmy Kustes]

During loud moments of playing Gamecube (when the rumble pak goes off) the sound starts to make a crackling sound on the TV! It is not the gamecube itself because it doesn't do it when the TV is muted. And does the same thing on a different TV.

During key moments of Pikmin, Mellee, and Luigi, the sound just gets very crackly. Tech support...help!

Can someone answer my question? :confused:

Are you using an RFU adapter to hook your Gamecube up to what I presume is an older TV?

[The Guard]

It could be your speakers just aren't...right for it. Newer computer games do that with older speakers. Something about a path or a...umm...something.

[Jimmy Kustes]

Yes I am using adapter.

[kiddiesunshine]

my gba does that.

If your GBA crackles, it may be because you're using an old game. They often sound and even look odd.

fzero-x isn't old. so much for that theory.

Does mine and Kiddie's game systems do that because it is a mono speaker set for Stereo? Should I set the Gamecube and the TV to Stereo or Mono?

I don't know why Kiddiesunshine's GBA does that because mine does fine with one speaker. Try headphones with a different game.

my gamecube doesn't crackle, just the gba. my cube is connected to my vcr which has stereo.
