Sound stutters and sudden freezes

Ok...here's my problem.
I've searched throughout the fourms and I've found nearly nothing.
Whenever I type while listening to music the sound skips odd? yes...
When I play games for instance, Counter-Strike my mouse seems like its locking up for just a half a second and my sound skips as well and i noticed my HD leds turn on also but thats normal cuz your hd is being used
I've tried running ad removal programs, e.g.: ad-aware, spybot, and other programs. None work
I've tried formatting it works for the first few hours but then starts up again.
Someone know of anything?

Hello,
Yes it can.
My logitec keyboard made my KT7A go slow when I used it.
Could you keyboard be having an effect on performance?
My keyboard does not have any effect on this. I do have a Logitech keyboard but I've also used two different keysboards, one from IBM and another from HP.

Some general advice:
- look what services/programs are running (using a hijackthis could be nice)
- fix the swap space (fixed drive, fixed size)
- your IRQ 4 and 9 are described as shared, but with only one peripheral. Why?
I'm not sure why my IRQ 4 and 9 are like that. I just recently formatted after I posted those IRQ's and i'm still getting the same stuttering problem.
I've changed my swap size to a fixed number and that hasn't done anything either.

The sound stutters and everything freezes

there's something wrong with the sound on my computer, if i spend 30mins watching a video, the sound stutters annoyingly and my laptop hangs, i always have to restart it, some times this doesn't solve the problem.
It also happens when i'm on skype.... its a dv3 and i updated the driver recently, still no result. is it the sound card???
PLEASE HELP

Perhaps your line's not configured correctly for Vision. I good place to start the diagnosis is to run http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ and cut and paste the results here.
2nd that. Try running it earlier in the day when things are OK and again immediately after you have a problem (but remember to stop the video on demand first as this will affect the result). Copy and paste both sets of results.

CPU- i5 2500k,
Motherboard- Gigabyte Z68M-D2H,
Ram- G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz 8gb(4X2kit),
PSU- Coolermaster Extreme plus 700W 52A single rail,
GPU- NGTX560 single fan edition, no overclocks whatsoever on anything.

OS- Windows 7 64Bit edition.

When I try to play games it starts to lag, and freeze while causing sound stuttering and then completely freezes the whole computer forcing me to reboot the system. Using the 285.62 drivers.
Games for example include Starcraft 2, which when I open used to freeze straight on the loading screen forcing an immediate reboot. I allowed it through my firewall and now I get past the loading screen and can log in, but straight after I log in, sound stuttering occurs and then the whole computer freezes forcing me to reboot. Another game as an example is Killing Floor, I never got past the "Tripwire interactive" loading screen, looked on google for some fixes, after modifying some .ini files for Killing Floor I was able to get into the menu's, went to options and clicked on display to change some of the graphics settings, extreme rips in the image occured, sound stuttering and frozen on the spot. Retried again but this time didn't touch any settings at all, joined a match, the game loaded but as soon as I entered it froze forcing me to reboot. Need help please thanks
Edit: just tried Starcraft 2, made a custom match vs a bot, got into the game for 20 seconds, started mining minerals then it froze again, this time I can hear the audio still playing perfectly while the image is frozen, mouse can move around, keyboard still works. rebooted after observing these features

Sorry but i have no other video card to test if my system is stable
I haven't tried msi's drivers yet will get to doing that now
I have tried to reinstall SC2 using both the disc provided, and downloading the client from the internet
Ill get back to you with the exact video card model

IiPad air2 suddenly freezes, the screen goes black but the sound is still on, I have taken it back to factory settings and it was OK then yesterday it froze again, only plugging it into my IMac got it going again. Anyone else got this problem?

Greetings jupiejupie,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPad is sporadically becoming unresponsive and the screen is turning black. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Cheers,

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?

10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.

ALSA sound stutters/freezes

I had ALSA set up and working without any problems before today. This morning I rearranged my hard drive partitioning scheme and now it seems ALSA is messed up. Could there be a connection?
I noticed it when mpd was acting funny (a song would be shown as playing in ncmpcpp but without sound then ncmpcpp would freeze or "attempt to reconnect..." with no avail). When I play an mp3 with Audacious it plays skips/repeats the first fraction of a second (like it is stuttering). With flash videos there is just no sound. Everything seems fine with alsamixer but when I try "speaker-test -c 2", it "stutters" with some noise out of the left speaker.
Any ideas?

HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

your 13-inch Mid 2009 MacBook Pro requires 1066 MHz RAM, but you have 1333 MHz RAM installed. Try replacing the 1333 MHz RAM with 1066 MHz RAM — Macs can be picky about the RAM which they find acceptable.

When I try to open an app on my phone or go onto safari, it will open then close on me. Also my phone freezes a lot and sometimes when I listen to music through my head phones, the song will sound funny and it will sound muted. Replacement?

Hi apple community
I've been having issues with my phone for about two weeks now. My power button doesn't work properly, whenever I try turning it off I have to try over and over again just to turn it off. I've also been dealing with a lot of freezing with my phone, my music on my phone sometimes doesn't play properly and when it does it sounds funny and the person who is singing has a muted echoing voice. When ever I try to go onto safari it will log me out straight away the same with all of the other apps on my store. It's really bugging me at the moment as I can not use the phone properly (iPhone 5) also I've got this app called "Kik" and whenever I go on there sometimes it'll come up with a pop up box saying "Error with code data".
I would like to know if my phone is faulty, and to be able to get a replacement or possibly an upgrade?
Thank you

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

My macbook pro suddenly freezes; screen turns off and computer freezes. Have to hard restart. Error message appears upon restart, saying something about kernel, etc. Can anyone please help on this issue?

For the past month or more I've encountered what I consider to be quite a serios problem with my Macbook pro. The laptop suddenly freezes without warning, the screen turns black, while the hard drive apparently stals and the system no longer responds. The only way to resolve this issues is to restart the computer via a hard reset. After restarting, an error message box shows up asking me to report the error, which I've already done on numerous occassions. The problem occurs at a frequency of 1 every 2-3 days, sometimes more often than that. The error message that comes up is very complicated but contains some key words amongst which includes "kernel." This makes me believe that it's an issue with the video card, and was wondering how I can remediate this problem so as to get the normal function of my laptop back. If anyone can be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

10.7.5 suddenly slows and then freezes

My computer has just started to suddenly slow way down and then it freezes completely. When I reboot it seems fine, for perhaps 10 minutes or half an hour, but then it starts to lock up again. Any idea what the problem is? Here is my EtreCheck report:
Problem description:
Mac works perfectly normally for an hour or so and then suddenly slows and then freezes.

Well, I made it to the Apple store and they, contrary to the guys at B&H, confirmed my original suspicion and yours: that the drive was failing. I bought a replacement drive and am restoring my time machine back up now.
I am a bit annoyed that the B&H guys got this one wrong but I have to give them credit for underselling me rather than overselling me; I do appreciate that.
Also worth mentioning is that the 3TB Seagate drive was less than 2 years old and is supposedly still under warrantee. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of support I get from them.
So big thanks to you, Bob, for your very good suggestions.   The Apple community has come through strong for me and I appreciate it.

IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

Hi There!
The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
Cheers!

Video and sound stutters in imovie project, made up entirely of stills with voice-over and music. I'm using iMovie 9.0.4 on a PowerBook 2GHz running 10.6.8 with 274 GB of space free. Size of project is 588 Gb.

This particular project is made up entirely of still photos with Ken Burns moves and dissolves between each photo. As I got further into the project, the voice over audio started stuttering, and now it hardly plays at all with a motorboat sound when it does play. I've also started added music with the dsame audio problem. I'm running on a Mac PowerBook 2GHz using System 10.6.8. I have IMovie version 9.0.4. The project file size is 588 Mb. I have 274 Gb of hard disc space left. I have shut off all other running programs and even disconnected from the internet, but nopthing seems to help. I acts like it's a memory problem of some sort, but all other applications run fine.
