Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.

9Windows 7 Sound Stutter Solution - Fixed my sound issues.= I have had some?stuttering when I installed windows 7 32-bit and the latest SB drivers for my X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card.
In XP I never experienced this issue before.
My music?stuttered ?when browsing the web with Explorer 8.
I made one simple adjustment to my PC in the BIOS.
I changed the hard disk ?DMA mode from Auto to Ultra DMA 5 and saved the settings.
Make sure you are not running your hard dri've in?PIO mode. I left my PIO mode to?Auto.
I have tried to re create the stuttering while browsing by opening several windows in explorer 8, all the stuttering is gone.
Ultra DMA 5 apperantly enables?the hard disk to operate at? higher data transfer rates which?increases the?performance of your hard dri've.
My PC is not high end.
Running Pentium 4 3.2 GHz processor on a Asus Motherboard P4C800-E?Deluxe.
This solution may fix the sound issues some of you are experiencing.

= try this web page and see if you have a problem. It crashes my audio before any of the videos finish.
http://www.vimeo.com/channels/vjhd#77438
media center music with visualization will crash it too.
It doesn't suprize me its a bios setting. I think the whole thing has to do with latency and board timing.
Overall I'm pissed. creative could just come out and say,"Look, the older products are not compatable with windows 7. Go out and buy a new creative windows 7 compatable card" But they haven't. They have said that x-fi is totally compatable with windows 7 and its not. win 7 is out. The RTM has been out for months. They have had time to make drivers. They just haven't done it. I use a lot of audio applications day to day. I'm tired and pissed off about having audio crashs.
seriously, just release a quick fix with basic sound and worry about all the eax **bleep** later.

  • My navigation bar refuses to come down with the usual down swipe,  whats the solution/fix for this issue???

    this has just begun lately--what is the fix??is it a setting preference by any chance???

        We simply must figure this out for you. Can you recall if there have been any changes to the phone since this began? Have you tried the power/off trick?
    Does the navigation bar move at all?

  • Solution to getting sound back on your videos

    The below solution is for Window users. If your Ipod videos were playing fine and then all of a sudden started freezing up and then plays with no sound, this solution will fix the problem. There is a problem with the last Ipod update (1/10). You need to remove that update. Here is how....
    Click Start
    All Programs
    Ipod
    Previous Updaters
    Select the 10/12/05 update
    Then Click Restore
    This will remove the last update from your Ipod which is what is causing the video sound problem.
    This will also remove all your files from your Ipod and you will have to put all your music and videos back on, but it will fix the problem. My videos are playing fine now. DO NOT INSTALL THE 1/10/06 UPDATE until Apple fixes the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • E430 Fix bad sound quality with Win 7 + Dolby Advanced Audio

    Problem:  In Windows 7 x64, sound quality is tinny and sounds very badly DSPed when Dolby Advanced Audio is activated.  Even setting all effects off and EQ off the sound is bad simply because Dolby is/was turned on.  Going to Sound > Playback > Speakers > Properties > Enhancements, checking Disable All Enhancements and clicking Apply clears up the sound, but then the EQ won't have any effect.
    Solution:  If you have Win 7 x64, uninstall the Win 7 driver (h0a114ww.exe) and instead install the Windows 8 driver (h0ac10ww.exe).  Note that this is NOT the Win 8.1 driver - that won't install under Win 7.  The sound quality will be way better when you use Dobly EQ and effects.  So far I haven't had any stability problems.
    I thought my E430 had the worst sound card ever until I upgraded to Windows 8 and installed the new driver.  I have Windows 7 dual booted and found the sound quality in Win 7 terrible so I played around with it and found the above solution. 
    Solved!

  • An I18N bug from java sound should be fixed.

    When you try to list some audio related names (such as mix name, port name, control name) by using java sound api, and if the names are writtened by non-ascii character such as Chinese, you will get the strange characters, that means java sound api does not support internationalization character. Here is the sample:

    Compile and run the code below on non-ascii Windows OS, you will catch the problem.
    The solution I provide:
    Download the jdk 1.4.2 source, search the files named PortMixer.c && PortMixerProvider.c and replace the method "NewStringUTF" with the method below:
    jstring WindowsTojstring2( JNIEnv* env, char* str )
    jstring rtn = 0;
    int slen = strlen(str);
    unsigned short* buffer = 0;
    if( slen == 0 )
    rtn = (*env)->NewStringUTF(env,str );
    else
    int length = MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, (LPCSTR)str, slen, NULL, 0 );
    buffer = malloc( length*2 + 1 );
    if( MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, (LPCSTR)str, slen, (LPWSTR)buffer, length ) >0 )
    rtn = (*env)->NewString( env, (jchar*)buffer, length );
    if( buffer )
    free( buffer );
    return rtn;
    Rebuild jdk source code as per sun build document. Got the result files and pick up jsound.dll, replace the original jsound.dll in your JRE with the fixed file.
    Then the problem solved. I also hope sun will fix the problem in the future version of JDK.
    Or any one can help me to submit this article to the sun JDK team.

  • How do i fix my sound

    how do i fix my sound on my iphone

    Hey there,
    I was having an intermittent sound issue and discovered it was related to Bluetooth. Whenever my phone was pairing with a Bluetooth device (handset or car) most of the sound was also being transferred to that device and I didn't realize it. Turning off Bluetooth instantly fixed the issue.  Or you can increase the volume (select aux/USB source) and you'll hear the missing sounds!
    Good Luck

  • T520 - 42435gg / Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance with Intel Rapid Storage AHCI Driver

    Hi everybody,
    I have serious Problems with my 42435gg
    Any time I install the Intel Storage AHCI Driver (I've tried plenty of different versions) which is suggested by System Update I experience a horrible Sound stutter and slow Graphic performance in Windows 7 64-Bit.
    The funny thing in this case: If the external e-sata port is connected the problems do not occur. If the port is unused again, the stutter begins immediately.
    The only thing I can do is using the Windows internal Storage Driver with which I am not able to use my DVD recorder for example.
    The device was sent to lenovo for hardware testing with no result. It was sent back without any repairing.
    Anybody experience on this?
    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    Did you try the 11.5 RST beta? Load up DPClat and see if DPC conditions are favorable.
    What are you using to check graphics performance?

  • How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds

    How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds it will only give me the option to choose wav?

    Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.
    You cannot use a MP3 file but there are lots of (WAV to MP3 converters) available on internet which can help you to convert MP3 to wav  serving your purpose of changing system sound.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2: No sound in DVD or Windows Media Pla

    Getting around in Windows XP I get all the sounds in the book, whether it's starting up or shutting down, critical "bongs", icon confirmation "clicking", all the sounds are there. Where I do not get sound is While attempting to watch a DVD or when I try to play any music file in Windows Media Player. The DVD video will play, there's just no sound, and with Media Player I get this error message:? "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device."? Again, all the other Windows sounds are there. Anybody have any experience with this one?

    I have just installed my Sound Blaster card, and get all of the Windows sounds. I can even play music CDs and movie DVDs on different media players other than Windows Media Player. The sound is also fine when playing games. However, when I try to use Windows Media Player, the CD and DVD plays, but there is no sound. In fact, when Windows Media Player is up and running, there is no Windows sounds or even other sounds when playing games. As soon as I close Windows Media Player, there is sound. I analyzed the configuration settings for both the Sound Blaster card and Windows Media Player, but I cannot see any problems.
    Does anyone have a clue?

    Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

    If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
