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!

Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system

Does Adobe Premiere 7 work ok and is it supported under Vista 64 bits operating system?

No, it's not supported under any 64-bit operating system.
But it seems to work in compatibility mode, which turns on automatically in Vista. It may occasionally suffer a hiccup, but it seems to work for many people.
Just make sure all of your firmware, RealTek drivers and Quicktime are up to date.

Power manager problem under vista 64 bit

Happy to see Lenovo opened a forum and willing to hear from the customers.
Power manager has problems under Vista 64bit:
1. Sometimes it will cause explore.exe can't start when windows start.
2. If no window at max, the color of the battery icon will be very dim
Hope Lenovo can publish a new edition for vista 64 bit.

Stuttering sound in games

A lot of people have reported (on other forums) having stutering sound whilst games hang for 10-15 seconds. I han't had those problems untill I moved my games to a Sata drive from an ordinary IDE drive. I moved them back and the stuttering stopped!
Has anyone noticed this running games from a Sata drive?
Poor old Valve have come in for a lot of stick over HL2 doing this. I wonder how many with this problem are running it from a Sata Drive? Could be the problem is Nvidia's!
Better go to Valve's forum and ask.

I studied that link and can't any reference to disk controllers, yet many are admament that the problem is poor sound caching which requires sounds to be loaded (from disk!). How the disk controller functions during intensive system use as typified by 3d games could be at the heart of the problem. Other games with large datebases also stutter, such as Microsoft Train sim.
I'm not saying you are not onto something .. ive had very similar problems with a supposedly top of the range dell laptop with a bad HD interface, everytime it accessed the disk, everyhing would stop momentarily, there is no reason that should be the case and just shows that it is not releasing its interrupt quickly enough.
The reason I pointed the link out is that you were hinting it was the nvidia sata implementation but i think thats only for AMD (atleast now) yet the link implies that intel systems are affected also.
The sooner the cause is discovered the better.. I get it , its not too bad though. installing the new nvidia separate sound drivers helped alot.

Stuttering Sound in games with X-Fi Xtreme Ga

I have repeatedly had problems with the sound in Bioshock, Civilisation IV and World of Warcraft whereby the sound will start off OK, but often, particularly heavy scene graphically, the sound either cuts out completely, or starts stuttering. I recently replaced the graphics card, but this problem began before I changed them over. I read in the FAQ that these problems could be overcome by turning off certain features such as CMSS-3D and also turning off the ACPI function in the BIOS. I have tried all the suggestions together and I still have the same problem.
AMD 64 X2 4200, 2GB Ram, MSI Radeon RX2600XT, Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Driver 6.0..302Message Edited by Hungry_Hippo on 0-5-200706:6 PM

I am not currently experiencing the sound distortions or drop-outs in the game Bioshock.
The solution could be one of the following. I can't be certain which one:
) Unlocking the framerate under 'graphics options' in the game.
2) Uninstalling the driver 6.0..302, removing the card, rebooting, reinstalling the card, rebooting again, reinstalling the driver.
However, as this is an intermittent fault, I can't be certain it won't recur. If it does, I will post again.

Lightroom crashes when rendering Develop preview under Vista 64-bit

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Lightroom 1.1 crashes every time I click the "Develop" pane. My images are DNG files without the original RAW embedded.
Lightroom ONLY crashes when I load an image in Develop. If I open Develop without any image selected, it's fine (no image is displayed). I can zoom in to 100% in Library and it works fine. Exporting images to JPG works fine. Editing photos in the Library pane is fine. The crash data is:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: lightroom.exe
Application Version: 1.1.0.0
Application Timestamp: 4677e8e1
Fault Module Name: MFC80U.DLL
Fault Module Version: 8.0.50727.163
Fault Module Timestamp: 4484afec
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 0002511c
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033
I've uninstalled LR 1.1 and reinstalled and it does the same thing. When I uninstall LR 1.1 and the install LR 1.0 (the previous version) Develop does open, but it doesn't render the images correctly - it looks like it misinterprets the white balance by about 1,500k degrees (very ugly), but Library shows the correct image/white-balance.
I've updated my nVidia 7900 graphics drivers to the latest version, appropriate to my OS and architecture. I've disabled XMP creation and Adobe Photo Downloader, as well as all other running applications (Antivirus, spyware, itunes, etc).
This USED to work fine in Vista and I did not make any significant changes, but I expect it's an issue with WindowsUpdate causing an incompatibility. I can't roll-back to my Vista state when it worked a month ago (that's another Vista frustration).
Anyway advice or comments would be GREATLY appreciated since this is an integral part of my professional workflow. I own a legitimate, licensed copy of both Lightroom and Vista, yet neither company is willing to talk to me unless I pay them money, which I think is complete extortion, but I digress.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone got a resolution on this? I have the same issue. Lightroom crashes when I click develop and the develop module begins to render the image. Clicking develop with no image selected allows the develop module to load however selecting develop on the menu bar and choosing either previous photo or next photo causes lightroom to crash while rendering an image.
I have a 64 bit capable HP XW8400 workstation with 2 dual core Xeon processors, 4 GB RAM, and a nVidia FX 4400 graphics card. This video card was put in as a test. the original video card was an nVidia quadra NVS something. When I ran the NVS card I used the drivers certified for Adobe CS2. I am running 32 bit Windows XP SP2 with all current updates. I do not have any MS office components installed on this system.
I read of some troubles around the Realtek HD audio driver and some Adobe applications (not Lightroom). Since I have this sound device I disabled it and removed the drivers...still crashes.
I also disabled the Intel VT in the system bios (I believe this is required to run 64 bit XP or Vista)... no change. Also disabled the NX feature...no change.
I also loaded VMware workstation 6.0 and installed Lightroom in a 32bit Windows XP SP2 VM. In the VM Lightroom works perfectly on the same machine...just not as snappy...
This stinks...Lightroom works perfectly on my poky laptop.

MBP 15,4" Early 2008 - VISTA 64-bit:Wi-Fi issue, BSOD issue, uTorrent issue

If you noticed following problems under Vista (64-bit and 32-bit) and/or Windows XP SP2/SP3:
- MBP looses Wi-Fi connection and can not login again to Wi-Fi router (restart needed to solve this)
- random crashes/BSODs/restarts,
- problems with uTorrent
you have a probably problem with stability OS and Broadcom 4321ABGN Wireless Network drivers 4.170.25.15 (bcmwl664.sys - check minidump file (copy from C:\Windows\Minidump to Desktop for example) using Windows Debugger available on MS website: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/Debugging/default.mspx

If setup.exe does not respond install drivers from Hardware Manager (Update driver).
I did not notice described issue anymore after applying new drivers. This could be also a an issue between Broadcom drivers/OS and uTorrent.

QuickTime 7 incompatible with Vista 64-bit?

After downloading Quick Time Player 7 I was unable to get it going. The message was: use Windows 2000 or more recent. When trying to resolve the problem as advides by support a choice for Vista was not possible in the setting of the exe file for Quick Time Player. When calling a helpdesk I was advised that there is no support from Apple for Windows users, not even when they decided to purchase the PRO version of Quick Time. Please tell me that's not true and give me a solution for my Vista 64-bit problem !

Was this an "iTunes + Quicktime" bundle download? or just QuickTime? QT 7.2 or later is supported under Vista 64-bit. My guess is it may be something with something else like language setting or such.

Get Flash Player to work under Vista

Using Internet Explorer, I am trying to get Flash Player 10 to work under Vista 32 bit. When I go to youtube.com, their greeting says "Hello, you either have JaveScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." Looking at the 'Programs and features' on the Control Panel, it shows 'Adobe Flash Player 10 activeX' is installed. In the Internet options, the security level is Medium-High. I tried to change this to medium but the sytem keeps reverting to Medium-High and in the scripting area, Active Scripting is set to enable. Can someone please tell me what I need do to get Flash player to work on my system.

Anyone here get an answer yet? Suddenly I'm getting those same messages that I either don't have javascript enabled (I do) or I need to get the latest version of Flash Player. But the latest version isn't for Windows 64. So what am I supposed to do, and what happened to cause this?

AA3/Mackie MPU & MCU Pro/Vista 64 bit

Talked to Mackies tech support today and they where not able to tell me if thier MCU or MCU Pro worked with AA3 under Vista 64 bit. They where not sure if either worked with AA3 under XP 64 bit.
Is anyone using a control surface with AA3 and Vista 64 bit?
Thanks
Duff

To all interested:
The Frontier Designs AlphaTrack will work with AA3 & Vista 64 bit.
The Mackie MCU Pro will also as long as it has the new server pack or e-prom chip.
Frontier sent me info including links to newer drivers and all the setup info I would need.
As for Mackie, I had called them twice. Both times I got a run around, and was told,"It will work fine with XP 64." DOH....Finally the boys at Sweetwater came through. They where able to get past sales and to someone in Engineering.
Wonder which ine I can get the wife to buy me for Christmas?

Distorted / choppy recorded sound with Audigy 2 ZS and Vista 64-bit

Hi, I wonder if anybody has any idea of why this issue is happening. First let me give you my PC specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 rev. 2.0
Graphics: 2 x BFG GeForce 8800 GT 52MB
RAM: 4 x GB G.Skill PC6400 @ 800 MHz
Sound: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
TV Tuner:? Hauppauge WinTV PVC PCI II (26xxx)
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP
?So here's the deal. I have no problems whatsoever with audio playback with this sound card. The issue I am having is while recording sound with it. When I record my voice via a Microphone with the Windows Sound Recorder and then play it back, my voice sounds very choppy. It sounds as if I was talking in front of a fan. The same happens with any program I try to use. If I use Audacity to record sound, the playback is also distorted / choppy. The main problem is with Skype, as I cannot use it to talk to people because they cannot understand what I'm saying because of the issue. Does anybody has any ideas why this happens? My PC is a dual boot PC with Vista 64-bit and XP 32-bit, and this issue only happens with Vista. Sound recorded plays back fine under Windows XP.
I am using the latest drivers available for this card from the Creative site.
I'd appreciate your help,
Daniel

A little bit off topic here, but 64bit does not mean more performance at all lol.
Sure, but there are in some cases drastic performence diferences. Under a fresh installed Vista X64 i have less CPU usage, as under 32 bit. But of course X64 uses more RAM (some tasks are double 32 and 64 bit).But the main reason I have more performence is, that the games I often play, get almost a boost. Dont ask me why, but under 64 bit EAW and FOC have the same FPS as under 32 bit. But under X64 I use a bit more Details and a higher resolution. (both are 32 bit games, so its a bit funy )?______________________?Sure there are other ways to install the drivers. But if some Setup dosent work, the first thing I try is to get it via Divice Management. And as this worked for me, I dont waste time to try other methods (Had bad experience, you can break the driver faster than install it *G*)?______________________?Some Questions I have left (after a few hours undr X64 with Creative Drivers):?Could it be, that the driver causes sometimes havy CPU usage?Could it also be, that the driver causes some lags, after you copy a file (the end sound, copy is finihed, but takes more time for "final finish", than without the drivers) - I know that Vista has some problems, on some PCs with copy, and that MS has an inoficial Patch (but dosent help for my PC so far)

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound.

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-1444 running Windows Vista 64 bit. I have lost all sound. There's a red x next to the speakeer icon on the bottom right of the screen. I have reloaded drivers, checked Device Manager, tested sounds, HP Support Assistant says I have the latest BIOS installed. I tried a one prong earphone in the two prong headset and got no sound. The mute button and the volume slider don't work either.
Please help me if you can.

No sound under Vista on Satelite U300 - waranty question?

Hi
I have some big problems with sound. I tried a lot of solution, but nothing. So, this is the problem...I have no sound under Vista.
1. Sound (volume) icon showing, that "no audio output device is installed".
2. I checked System tolls-system information, under _Components - Sound device_ - nothing, no info. _Components - problem devices_ - also nothing. No problem device at all.
3. In device manager - hardware with Sound, video and game controllers - missing. Even then Im checking all other devices, such System devices, or unknown device, it's also nothing. No devices even with yellow question mark. Its seemed like systems run ok.
Very Strange.
Of course u can say, maybe I didn't install sound drivers, but drivers are installed. Download a newest driver from Realtek.
But...sometimes, I have sound. Usually sound is missing. Such thing like restart doesn't help.
One more thing, then I have sound (sometimes it happens), the sound can disappear during my work with computer.
Maybe it's warranty question? I should go to repair centre?

I tried to install Vista using recovery image about 10 times. It doesn't help. Even after that it shows me same mesage. Download newest drivers from realtek, and still nothing. The main thing, that confusing me, it is device manager. No sound hardware at all. It's seems like everything working ok. Even system information show that i dont have installed sound.

Audigy 2 ZS, only 2-Channel sound in VIsta 64-Bit

I just installed, (last night), VIsta 64-Bit. I bought the retail release.
I came here and grabbed the newest Vista 64-Bit driver and installed it.
Here is my dilemma.
In the creative console I set my speaker configuration to 5.. And in the windows Sound control panel applet when I click the configure button the test tones do come out of each speaker accordingly.
BUT, when I play my MP3s, or games, only the front left and right channel output any sound.
In XP I could play MP3s and I could have 2 channel + Sub, (low frequencies would be sent o sub). Now I only get left and right channels and there is no crossover happening.
Same with games.
So while the Sound control panel applet seems to be able to send sound out to all the speakers, there is only sound in the front two when playing music or games.
Help pleas!
Thanks

?I was having the same problem like your having, I have the X-Fi XtrememMusic soundcard, Vista 64-Bit OS and SONAR Home Studio 64-Bit. I could not get the Creative ASIO to load and activate. I now use the Cakewalk Driver Mode (below)?to switch between mode easy now without any problems.
This may or not work, Below is a separate program by cakewalk ?"Cakewalk Driver Mode" that forces?when selected the ASIO, ?WDM/KS and MME 32-Bit modes.
Just install and before going into your SONAR software, use the "Cakewalk Driver Mode" to see if your software is listed. Select that software your using and then select ASIO, click apply and go into your SONAR software.
If your software is NOT listed, this software will not work, But, try it out to see if this works.

Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.
