Stuttering sound, keyboard

The stuttering sound, mouse topic seems related, but who knows
I have no problems with my mouse, however when I have my PS/2 keyboard’s keys depressed (say, Shift or Ctrl), or when I type (just normally), the sound would jitter! I can’t get around the problem, and unlike the linked topic, I do NOT have SATA drivers installed.
I’m using the latest nVidia drivers for my nForce2 (4.62).
Also, at times the sound will just start to crackle a lot (that’s without me even touching the keyboard), until I stop the music and start it again. It doesn’t matter if it’s WaveOut or DirectSound — the only thing that /always/ works is FooBar2000’s ‘Kernel Streaming’. I have a short recording of this one, so it is NOT my speakers/headphones.
Any ideas?

Hi King_Penguin,
Earlier I had a Windows XP and iPhone4. So photos taken from iPhone4 were copied to Windows XP machine using iTunes and then iTunes syncs these photos to iPad.
Now that Windows XP is no more and instead now I have a new Windows 7 machine and my Macbook. I didn't copied the photos from Windows XP to some external storage medium before dismantling that windows XP machine.
So the only location where these pics and videos are available now is my iPad (1'st Generation).
WIll a new copy of iTunes on Windows 7 be able to copy the pics and videos from this iPad?
Any suggestion?

FOUND SOLUTION FOR dv7 4121er STUTTERING SOUND!!!

Alright. Sorry for bad english.
I got new Pavilion dv7 4121er with stuttering sound/glitching/laggy games from the box. Lurking this forum got and try many different solutions for resolving this issue. Nothing work.
So let me be close to the problem - i just noted (thanx for RamonGutierrez on this forum for idea) that my HDD led very often turn red\orange and right for that - i got slow performance in gaming\loading stuff etc. So definetely something wrong with HDD. Then, lurking more - HP got utility "HP 3D Drive guard". This utility prevent damage for HDD in case of laptop just dropped on the floor. This utility parking heads of HDD and do it VERY often. So i just turn this utility OFF (unintall or just disable i think it's no difference). And restart PC. Gues what? NO MORE RED HDD LED. Just virgin white when data transmitted, NO AUDIO STUTTERING AT ALL (at least 4 hour with BFBC 2 and GTA 4 testing) and no laaaag or long loading in games!
Hope this is the solution! Worked for me anyway! Good luck!

Apparently HP 3D DriveGuard is already disabled for me (I never messed around with it and it was already disabled) yet I still have the problem. Why do I think this guy is just making false claims, possibly working for HP to make people keep their defective computers with the hope of a fix?
You got me buddy!
In fact, I do not agitate anyone had not returned their laptops and wait for a solution. I was going to return the laptop. Just in Russia is not so simple. I just described the solution that helped me personally on my laptop model. I'm not saying that it fit all. But I see that this solution has worked not only for me.
And then - you say yourself that the HDD light continues to blink red/orange! That because HDD STILL parking his heads all the time. Why? I dunno... Maybe someone else do. Try to ask RamonGutierrez - hi's just replace HDD in laptop - and problem was solved. Still im sure that was NOT IDT Audio Codec bug in my case.

Lumia 920: Stuttering Sound @ Nokia Tune

Hi Everyone, I am facing a very unique issue with my Lumia 920.. Stuttering sound for first few seconds at default Nokia Ringtone... changing the Ring Tone will reduce the stuttering little bit but it is not going away....
However Music doesn't feel any stuttering or probably I am unable to detect it.
Any suggestions!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

have you tried performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons held together until the phone vibrates)?

Stuttering sounds in games under Vista 32-bit

Every minute or so when I'm in any game in Vista (tried World of Goo, Crysis, Spore), the sound stutters for a couple of seconds. I think it is just a sound issue because the framerate doesn't seem to slow down during the stuttering sound. I tried reinstalling the Boot Camp drivers and even completely reinstalling Vista, and the issue is still there. Any ideas?

So it is the wireless drivers. Pretty much thought so.
Oh well, too late for me, it was so incredibly bad for me, I gave up. All week trying to wrangle first the sound drivers, then the network drivers, and couldn't get it fixed. Could /slightly/ reduce it by fiddling with which band it was on, but it would still keep stuttering to a point where it just wasn't working for my requirements. Took it back <week after purchase and got a full refund. Have to say, they did look after me well and offered to help me in shop if this problem gets resolved. I'd still recommend one to anyone who doesn't have the need for Vista64, and I'd get it again once I heard it was fixed (and had a chance to test personally).
Amazing really that there's no decently working drivers for this. People are reporting sluggish network access, crashes, stuttering sound, and still no updated drivers. Hope it gets resolved soon, I WANT MY MAC BOOK!

MacBook Pro Locks up w/ unresponsive Black Screen, Stuttering sound.

Hello,
Having searched high and low, I can't seem to find a solution to my predicament.
I have a Mid-2010 15" i5 MacBook Pro, and when I run programs that kick my GPU onto the nVidia card, I will randomly get a completely black screen. This is not apparently the more common "black screen of doom" because I cannot do anything at all to the computer - I see no mouse pointer, I can't adjust the screen intensity, and the only resolution is to force shutdown and reboot. My sound also loops the last second or so of audio if anything was playing at that time, and the force shutdown produces a audible 'pop' most times, which sounds like it might be from the HD. When I do so I get a message about Mac OS X unexpectedly crashing, and a check of the Console seems to indicate that it's some sort of kernel panic. I've reset PRAM, SMC, etc and run all the normal disk checks and nothing has come up. It's only been repeatable when I put the computer to sleep, then log back in, and log into a Minecraft server. It has happened on other occasions randomly, such as when Safari had chewed up a great deal of RAM, or during when I was playing Oolite. It would appear, judging by the amount of time each one of these instances takes, that it's something to do with RAM usage possibly, but the kernel log indicates something might be awry on the nVidia card side of things.
Here's the log. I'm really at a loss here, and this is quite annoying to keep losing my work when I happen to absentmindedly open a game up after a long session of writing, etc. I'm afraid that ultimately I'm going to have to take it into the shop, but as a college student with no nearby Apple store, I just can't afford to not have it with me - I'm using it constantly for my work.

Hi there, GoreLeech,
as per above extract from your error log, you have experienced a kernel panic due to problems with your Nvidea GeForce GT 330 M graphics card that has a 256 MB memory.
This may be due to the card not having enough memory for what you are doing, the only thing, I can suggest here is to call Apple, and get the machine checked out. You can run the Apple hardware test at home but I'd recommend getting it booked in with Apple. What is worse: A computer that randomly malfunctions, or doing without it for up to one week (often they repair it within a day!)?

Flashvideo stuttering, sound not in sync with video

Can't help it: flashvideos are stuttering and the sound is not in sync with the video as the video/picture always is like a second late to the sound.
Tried Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, even with older flashplayer-versions than 11.5.502.110 as it is now, cleared chache, enabled and disabled hardware acceleration, tested different cache memory size (flashplayer internal settings), with or without camera and microphone allowance, every time I get the same results in a choppy / stuttering video and no sync in picture / sound.
My System is as followed:
MacBook Pro early 2008
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
2,5 GHz
L2-Cache:    6 MB
RAM:    4 GB
Bus:    800 MHz
with a GeForce 8600M GT
PCIe-Bus
VRAM 512 MB
Internet-connection via cable at least with 5 Mbit/sec up to mostly around 20 Mbit/sec and a 802.11n WLAN (tried LAN cable too, same effect)
My OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and I want to stick with that one, I keep the browsers and the flashplugin always up to date and I am not using a lot of background programs when watching, just one firewall and the usual system processes as I can see in the activity monitor, not much of percentage in processor usage, maybe 2 to 5 in percent all together, talking only of the background usage.
The core / processor usage, when a flashmovie is running, is around 80 to 90 percent,
there is an amount of 45 or so GB harddrive space empty and
somewhat of 1,8 GB of RAM not in use.
The connection-quality as shown in, say the "nfl game pass" window is very good up to max.
Sometimes, when the internet isn't that fast and the connection drops, the picture gets worse and the sound too, but that occurs not very often, maybe once a day and mostly when starting a video. After 10 seconds or so the quality of the picture and sound is high like brilliant HD, cannot complain about that, but the stuttering and out of sync sound remains.
I watch the flash videos at internal mac-book-pro monitor 1440x900 fullscreen, sometimes not fullscreen,
tried an external LCD Sony Bravia Full HD Monitor via DVI to HDMI adapter too
and I am getting always, with any kind of configuration, the same results in stuttering video with sound out of sync.
Did already read faq's and forums and it seems that this is an issue for a long time with very different computer-setups and browsers in various versions of the flash-player. Couldn't find anything in accordance, like same graphic cards or same internetconnections, browsers or else, yet, so it comes down to the flash player.
The issue with the stuttering video and no sync in sound and video occurs at any time of the day with different streams, live, archived - I also tried changing the mac-system-flashplayer settings in different combinations with no change at all: stuttering video, no sync sound.
If there is any information else that you need, please let me know,
I hope you can help as this stuttering and async is getting quite annoying by now...
greez anyway, out of vienna, austria
thanx,
manfred

Hi Manfred,
When you have the high cpu, is hardware acceleration enabled? You mentioned this occurs with all releases that you've tested, does this include 10.3 on Firefox?

Windows support files - bootcamp, drivers are not working [no sound, keyboard shortcuts]

Hi guys,
I'm using the following version of Bootcamp Version 5.0.3 (464) on MBP mid 2010, wit latest OS on it. I ave installed Windows 7 through multiple errors and had to clean the whole HD after backing the files. The Windows is running fine now, however I think I havent dowloaded Windows Support Files (second tickbox) in the bootcamp assistant when installing Windows (I only ticked the third box).
And now I have tried to download the drviers from bootcamp on USB after formating it correctly, but the USB shows its empty.
I tried the following steps:
I went back into my Mac and opened up Bootcamp, reinstalled all the Windows Support Files (the top box of Bootcamp) and made sure to put them onto an external device i.e. USB/External Hard Drive etc...
I then logged back onto my partioned Windows on my Mac and updated all the Windows Support Files. After that I restarted my computer back into Windows and popped in Guild Wars 2...
But nothing seems to be working. I went to Windows Update smth, and looked for updates found quite a few of them and isntalled all of them, but noting is working - sound and keyboard shortcuts are gone and I cant downloaed the software I want.
Could you please advice on what to do with those drivers. I have been trying for days...

Hi JFFulcrum, thanks for your suggestion. I updated the BIOS earlier and still am getting the same results. Also, I decided to try another old soundcard I had laying around today, a SB PCI 512. And....same result i'm getting with the Audigy. Windows detects both cards, says they're working, but there's no sound. I'm beginning to think I should just RMA the board
if you could find anymore information about those DMA issues, please do post! I have e-mailed gigabyte 3 days ago and they still haven't gotten back to me, so i'm not really sure where to go from here, if it's some setting in the bios, some sort of driver, a bad pci slot or what. ..

Hello ggmcl,
I would be concerned too if the sounds on my iPhone were not working. I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

Drop outs, and stuttering Sound Blaster Recon3D PCie Window 8 32bit.

There are other much older threads on this subject but none I could find with the above combination.
My PC environment:
N2M4 SLI ASUS motherboard
AMD X64 5400
4 gig's DDR2 RAM
Windows 8 Pro 32bit (not a clean install but an upgrade from XP-Pro SP-3)
SB Recon3D PCie sound card
Nividia GeForce 9800 graphic card.
The on board audio chipset is disabled, it's drivers deleted.
All drivers and Bios packages are up to date.
I am not a gamer and this SC is only used with music and video playback.
I have a frequent hang, and stutter (H&S) problem which started with the installation of the new Sound Blaster card. I had and ancient Audigy 2 from which I only used it's coaxial digital output this card did not have the H&S but the 3.5mm jack failed so a replacement was needed. The H&S problem started with the new card. It does it with both the analog and optical digital output. It is apparently the SC that is doing this. I have two other outputs I use for music playback, USB and DLNA the H&S problem is not exhibited with these two play back methods.
I have watched the system monitors to see if I can spot what is going on. CPU usage runs 50% or less usually a lot less, and the RAM is also not taxed. What I do see is a split second spike in CPU usage to somewhere around 70% when the stutter hits. This is not reflected in the usage graphic for the RAM. I have adjusted the digital, and analog buffers, I have also changed the file bit depth, etc, to try and mitigate the problem at in both cases it does not fix the problem.
This SB Recon3D PCie is the 6th Sound Blaster card I have purchased over the last decade plus and the first one I have had any trouble with, If there is a solution I would like to hear of it, and hopefully this will be addressed in a driver update very soon, if not, well, there is always the ASUS Zonar Essence.

I have fixed the dropout and stuttering problem. It was not Creative fault but instead it was caused by the malicious site blocker package that was loaded by Malwarebytes in February. I loaded DPC Latency Checker and watched it's real time graph and the latency was through the roof, something was eating my computer alive and it was not my SB Recon3D PCie card that was doing it Turning off Malwarebytes fixed the problem. Before I dumped the MWBS I checked in at it support forum and they where getting flamed over the malicious site blocker and locking up XP machines so I turned it off on my Windows 8 machine and instantly fixed the problem now my new Creative Sound card sounds great like all of the other SB card I have had over the years. Anyone having this problem load DPC Latency Checker, it is freeware, and see if you have a latency issue that is causing your problem.

How do I adjust the system sounds(keyboard and mouse click) in the audio for a software simulation?

Mouse clicks and keyboard strokes very loud in software simulation, but voice is low. I am using Captivate 7

Indeed, I would increase the volume of the voice-over. There is a keystroke sound effect within the C:/Program Files/Adobe/Captivate 7/Gallery/Sound Effects folder, but I'm not sure if that one is directly related to the sound effect used by default.

Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset, stuttering sound?

Just yesterday I picked up these new headphones and lets be honest, they aren't cheap.
I loved how comfortable they were and easy to install. But I was less impressed with the sound.
Playing songs in iTunes, the songs sounded muffled, like they needed more treble. Yet oddly, other songs which I knew had high treble, sounded ok. But just ok.
But perhaps my biggest issue is that when any song is playing either in iTunes or another player, the sound stutters.
The best way to describe it is, imagine your playing a song in itunes and at the same time pushing your PC to its limits, extracting a 2GB rar, converting a video, installing a game etc all at the same time. There will be an effect on the system and the sound will stutter as it struggles. But I get this when my computer is just playing music and only with these new headphones. Its because its USB im sure.
So what is the solution? I got these off ebay brand new, so getting a refund will not happen.
I used the driver off the website.

Its really frustrating. I've been watching AVI files and get the same problem every so often. Ive even "rewound" the video to make sure it was a fault with it but no. These headphones are perfect except this. come on Creative, help me out here.
Update: I have uninstalled the creative software and used just the built in drivers for windows 7. There is a noticable improvement. There is some slight issues every so often but its alot better than it was before. Although that isnt saying much, its still seriously IRRITATING.

IPad Air (16 GB, WiFi) and click sound keyboard

Hello guys! Do you have the same sound bug with the keyboard click? I like to put notifications' sound to max to hear them well, but doing so when using earphones results in a buggy sound. When notifications' sound are not set on max I don't have the same issue.
I had the same problem in iOS 7.1.2, and now again in 8.0.
Can you please just confirm that you have the same issue as mine? This way I can make bring it back to the store.
Thanks!
