Sound problems when playing games

I have just bought a new iPod touch. I've noticed that when listening to my headphones, when I play a game the sound goes very crackly. This goes for both the games sound but also whatever mp3 I happening to be listening to. If I exit the game, the sound returns to normal. It doesn't appear to be a problem in other programs (as far as I can tell).
Can anyone shine a light on this?
Cheers
Ross

Yea sorry, should have done that at the start.
I only have 3 games but over 10 apps. I only have problems with these:
– PapiJump
– PapiRiver
– CannonGame
It's not just when I'm using the headphone jack either. Even if I use the external speaker, I can be in the game menu and the sound is ok, as soon as it starts playing it goes crackly. This is both when I am playing a song or when I am just listening to the game sounds.

Sound lag when playing games

Hi,
My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example. My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Direct X problem when playing games.

I have purchased the MSI 6990 recently, some games work and some don't.
I tried 11.9 11.10 11.11 with CAP1 CAP2, two days ago they released a performance driver 11.11a and i still get this error message from direct x.
DirectX Error:

Where you get this message?
Do you use msi vga drivers for your card and have you remove current vga drivers with >>Driver Sweeper<< in Safe Mode 1st?
Also have you installed most recent DX version from Microsoft?

When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Iphone 4 when playing game no sound

hi guys:
my iphone 4 when playing game no sound but the ringstone is ok no problem,so i try to reset my phone but the problem still there~is that my hardware problem?

Hello Zijie92,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone. Have you checked to see if the Side Switch is enabled? This could be muting the audio:
In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.

If you are experiencing this issue with just one specific application, I recommend the steps in the following article:

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Humming noise when playing games

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve a buzzing noise I'm getting when playing games.
I have a x-fi fatalty, gtx 480 in SLI and a x58a-ud3r motherboard and for the most part the x-fi works fine, however when I play 3d games I get a very irritating buzzing sound coming from the speakers while playing.
Things I've tried...
Switching off SLI / only having one graphics card installed - no difference
Wrapping the x-fi in electrical tape to stop interference - no difference
Switching the pcie slot - no difference
Latest BIOS - no difference
Trying x-fi different drivers - no difference
Using on board audio - no buzzing at all
Switching off 3d audio and crystallizer- reduces buzzing significantly but?still?there!
I'm out of ideas now... anyone else had this problem?

Well, I got Windows 7, I cleaned the inside which was quite dusty. I launched Left 4 Dead, had a minute of calm, then the sound of my fan started to increase slowly to the point when it sounds a bit like when you turn a Mac Pro on. It seems slightly better though. Probably by doing a full cleaning of the inside I could make it a bit less noisy.

Powermac crashes when playing games

Hi. I've got a problem with my Powermac G4 (Dual 450MHz).
Everytime I play a game (Quake 3 or Redline for example) the mac crashes sooner or later and I need to reboot. I've checked RAM, fixed HD permissions, fixed the HDs and cleared all cache. The mac has a stock ATI Rage128 Pro and 640 MB RAM. My mac crashes only when playing games, never when in "normal use".

Hi
It may be worth just checking the ventilation holes in the case aren't clogged with dust etc and the case fan is still spinning okay. If games are the only time you 'stress' the processors (e.g. you don't also use it for DVD encoding etc), perhaps it's a heat issue. You could try temporarily using it with the case open to see whether it makes any difference, which would also allow you to check the fan(s). It seems unlikely but it may be worth a shot.

Finger sticks when playing games

Computer lags when playing games.

Hi folks.
I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.
2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
Is there anyone who can help me out???
plz help

Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on Fifa or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

When playing games on my Ipod, I can't buy gold packs on FIFA or gems on Clash of Clans. What can I do? I have credit on my Itunes account.

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?

MicroStar NX6800GT-TD256 256MB AGP - problems when playing movies

Hello,
I have just upgraded from MSI Gf FX 5950 ultra to MSI 6800Gt AGP, and I have problems when playing all movies.
Movies are VERY overbrightened, and there are some color issues too.
I have tried installing various codecs, nothing helped. {I did a fresh installation of windows XP, and I installed win media 9 codec, indeo codec, and Allin1 codec ver. 60.27 }
i have also tried to play movies in different movie playes {BSplayer, win media player, MSI intervideo}, still same problem.
I never had such a problem with my old FX card.
In PC games, there is no problem at all, all runs perfectly.
Can anyone help me pls?
thank you for any tip.

Still, assuming the processor would handle it, which is a big assumption, it does not appear to be AMD happy ram. You might get a more authoritative answer if you can find a box with same mobo and processor and check that system but I'm thinking you need new RAM.
