I have this problem but I always use a headset. Should I uninstall realtek aswell? Or would that not be it because I'm using a headset.
[QUOTE=TP_MoonStar;43869279]USB headsets works on notebooks as well ? If yes could you give me some examples ? Should i get a usb headset or usb soundcard ? I'm on a asus notebook n550jv and i cant really use any kind of external soundcard except usb or portable ones. Sucks that they force you to use realtek and you have zero options (customization wise ). -- To OP: You sure you dont have the sound from your radeon gcard ?[/QUOTE] Yes, the story is the same on laptops. USB headsets are their own "sound card" as far as the computer is concerned, so you don't have to get a USB sound card dongle and then plug a headset into it unless your headset has 3.5mm analog jacks (and is not USB).

The HDMI's audio output is disabled automatically if there is nothing plugged into it.

It would power on/off and saw the spikes at those points. I tested this by opening the webcam suite (so it would power off) and no spikes... But then it wouldn't share resources with the game and trying to change those settings in the device manager caused the error/spikes also. Plug and Play driver issue? Rusts code being buggy in regards to attached hardware? who knows![/QUOTE] I actually tried unplugging everything other than my keyboard and mouse from my computer to check if it was a plug and play issue with any additional peripherals such as my USB Webcam which didn't seem to fix the issue [editline]12th February 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=elixwhitetail;43871580]Yes, the story is the same on laptops.
