Azusa Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Ok I?m having an unusual audio glitch and the thing is I?m not sure what the source is. So far I have worked out it?s not any of my HDDs as it?s happening on media from all of them and It?s not the HDD connections same reasoning as why it?s not the HDDs. The thing is I?m not too sure how to describe it it?s sort of like what happens when you?re listening to music and then open an memory intensive program and you get that chipping/skipping in the audio. I plan to run a memory test this Monday/Tuesday while I?m out. I did have a similar issue with my last computer and I fixed by using a different sound card but with this one I?m not sure I can unless this card will go into a PCI-E X16 slot. Specs: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 4GB DDR3 idle https://dl.dropbox.c.../sound/idle.PNG Music playing https://dl.dropbox.c...sound/music.PNG video playing https://dl.dropbox.c...sound/video.PNG processes with video playing https://dl.dropbox.c...ith%20video.PNG and just to add my CPU is https://dl.dropbox.c...ound/system.PNG All drivers are up to date and something is telling me it could be flash related cause when watching anything on a flash based player it happens more and there are two instances of flash plugin running. But I did a clean install of flash which seemed to fix it but then about 2 or 3 days later it started happening again. So any help with this would be greatly appreciated. also if you need information please tell me what you need. Thanks! FIXED!!! \/ turns out it was ESET was the source of the issue and have switched to MSE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livin in a box Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yeah, I don't think that sound card will go into a PCI-E x16 slot. Does it happen on all media that you play? What's your memory usage like and CPU usage when you're playing media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Sounds like your CPU is simply underpowered for the number of apps you run at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azusa Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 New development: it seems closing uTorrent stops it from happening or at least i think it stops it from happening as much. Nope false alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjf288 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 That soundcard will fit in a x16 slot. With PCI-Express as long as it fits in the socket, it will work... most boards have second or third sockets that are electrically keyed to X8 yet presented as a X16.. A X1/4/8 will fit in an X16 slot. Have you tried updating your sound drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusa Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 ^ Yeah as i said in the OP all drivers are up to date so it will fit in the longer X16 slot and work? ^ So, you were running too many apps. ;) and again you're calling https://dl.dropbox.c...thistoomany.PNG too many?

Azusa Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 just wanting to know would bad memory cause a BSOD 100% of the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azusa Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well a little update Getting a new sound card/chip did not fix this issue I'm starting to think it's software based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUTZIFER Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have the same problem, and I know what you mean. Mine just started around a week ago. And with me too, it is not a processor overload problem either. My Ultrabook is quite powerful and fast, and no matter what I throw at it, my ram usually never goes over 50% used, and the processor is hardly using much power either, unless re-encoding a bunch of video files at once, with many many programs running, it gets up there a tad and the fan gets louder. Anyways, it does happen while using different media programs whether they come off the ssd, external drive, or the internet. Doesn't do it steasy, just the odd click and pop here and there. I have no idea why it's doing it. Nor have I really tried to figure it out, I just know it's definitely not due to lack of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back to https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1123414-youtube-green-screen-crash/ this issue i had which seems to have been fixed could this be the result of another bad windows update?
