repeating sound problem...
Hi all,
I recently got a S.B live 5.1 card, Spealers are in the post as I type. So at the mo I am still using by 2.1 speakers. The problem is this.. Every few minutes, wether playing an MP3 CD or game the sound repeats itself for half a second or so, whatever sound is playing, (This makes a loud screeachy sort of noise.) I have checed the web site and I seem to have the latest drivers. Win XP pro 1600+ Athlon 768Mb ram Does this sound familier to anyone? (Excuse the pun) Thanks for any help. Brin |

Get them at viaarena.com My friend had weird stuff happen with his soundcard when he installed DirectX9.0. The sound in games would stutter, big time. It was fixed with DirectX9.0b. D.R. |

Thanks for the reply, I had the newest drivers from Epox (My mobo maker) but I got the newest ones from Viaarena.com. The problem still persists I have just noticed, I have DX9.0a Hmm it has been a while since I bought any new games! DX upgrade in progress now. Brin |

When the sound repeats the computer freezes for about half a second. Does anyone think it would make a differance if I use Windose 2000 pro instead of XP? I will keep searching for a few weeks, if I dont find a solution I will try 2000. Thanks fpr reading Brin |

DRINK!!! :-) Does anyone think it would make a differance if I use Windose 2000 pro instead of XP? I will keep searching for a few weeks, if I dont find a solution I will try 2000. So many factors to take into consideration... Could be some resource conflict. Have you tried swapping PCI slots? Do you have anything else running in the background, eg Virus Checker? Spyware often makes a PC run like crap. You could try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy from: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html Then Install, Update, Immunise, full scan.

D.R. )Father Ted rules. I have swapped PCI slotts, I have also ran Adaware a few days ago, I will try spybot as well just to make sure. I have Norton internet security, and Antivirus running all the time, I have noticed this slows the pc down, I will try disabeling the virus checker as well. I have seen lots of forums which mention IRQ conflicts, I think I have lots of sharing irq's, but I'm unable to change them. On the device manager screen there are now exclimation marks or problems reportd. (Also the Creative adio HQ self test saya all tests passed sucesfully.) I will post again after more tests. Thanks again for the reply. Brin |

Thanks again for the reply. Brin oops, That should say there are no exclimation marks or problems reported. I have installed updated and ran Spybot, it found a few tracking cookies, so nothing that would cause a slow down.. I have had the virus protection of for a few hours, the problem sseems the same, I cant really notice any cause, like disk access or internet activity, it will make the noise seemingly at Random. (I have had Xnews downloading almost constantly, I will have to wait for it to complete before I try more tests) |
