• Sound lag when doing stuff.
    9 replies, posted
What happens is after some time of work (5-6 hours) almost every page load in browser creates sound lag. I thought it was chrome problem, so i tried using Firefox, but it was useless. Loading pages through steam client is the worst lag. [URL="http://puu.sh/aQK1Y/f2cfe03cb8.mp3"]http://puu.sh/aQK1Y/f2cfe03cb8.mp3[/URL] Example. As you can clearly hear, the sound lag is really annoying. But it is recording. It is much worse to hear in person. It also appears to be on pages with some media files. This is the most annoying and frustrating problem i had with my PC. Ever. It all started around 2 days ago. I hope for an advice. I really want to fix this. I don't really know if it's only web-browsing that causing this problem. [IMG]http://puu.sh/aQL9O/86fce9015d.png[/IMG]
Have you got another firewall like Outpost from Agnitum? If so uninstall it.

[QUOTE=knifekeeper;45678040]How will it help?[/QUOTE] I read it somewhere, it's worth a try.

Today this problem hit after 10 hours of work. That's really good (except it's not). Im crying.
Damn, looks like now it's not only sound, video is also lagging with sound.
I have absolutely no idea what could be causing this problem. You could try doing a system restore and see if it helps. What I would do if I were you though is get a USB stick and put Lucid Puppy on it and see if there are sound problems when you boot into that and try listening/recording anything. If it's there, it's most likely a hardware problem in which case I would start removing some stuff like RAM sticks to try and narrow down the problem. If it isn't theres a software problem, in which case I would recommend backing your important stuff up and reinstalling your operating system. If its a hardware problem that could be highly unfortunate but at least it'll narrow it down(your CPU could possibly be dying in the worst case, as I've seen slow CPUs doing stuff like this and I wouldn't be surprised if dying chips did the same thing). But before you do anything, update your drivers. You could also try memtest to see if there are any errors in your memory.
I know more audio intensive software like fruity loops completely disables the playback of youtube videos without the appropriate audio firmware so something could be essentially "clogging up" your audio through your system. I would first install realtek audio if you don't already have it [url]http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/SOUND-CARD/REALTEK/ASUS-P8H61-M-LE-R20-Realtek-Audio-Driver-51006602-6016602-for-XP-Vista-Windows-7.shtml[/url] Also I would check what programs are running when this lag starts and end any processes that may require sound/graphics. To find that out start up task manager and click the performance tab, then resource manager, and watch the graphs to see what's spiking or at high use once the lag starts. You can check off different programs to see what's the most taxing on your system. So try out the drivers, then monitor your resources to see what's causing the lag.
