Is SP1 or 2 on it? What if you try and get them by updating the driver??? Driver tab / update through windowsupdate/ Does it do / install anything? Try killing UAC / running the install file as admin. Are you in an admin account? |

Its all up to date so I presume SP2. I am the only Admin user on this PC. After uninstalling audio, windows automatically update drivers ver 2006 after reboot. I then update drivers ver 2009 (downloaded from intel). However still no improvement in the sound. |

Does this sound like your prob?? (www.sevenforums.com). What audio interruptions do you hear exactly? In the link I've posted the prob was the ram |

When I play music or watch videos, the audio will freeze for a second or two every and then continue playing again. And it happens every minute or so. Have tried changing speakers but no avail. Am using 8Gb dual channel RAM so could try taking out some to see if thats the problem but my sound interruption is definitely different from the link you've posted. Is there anyway to check RAM problem without physically taking them out to test? |

memtest (http://www.memtest.org/). Probably better if you test it overnight. It takes a while |

Just had a quick look at my task manager. Played an audio file and the Memory usage is constant at about 3GB with other programs running. However whenever there is a freeze in the music, the CPU usage spiked up 20-40% higher. Could it be the CPU? Also monitored the CPU usage without audio and it still spike up without additional activties? Its like a constant heartbeat but with Regular Interval spikes. Will look at the memtest at the weekend. Thanks Speedy. |

No probs or try one stick in at a time. See if it does the same thing. It may not be the ram it maybe a setting in the BIOS (for the ram). Is the BIOS on it the latest BIOS? |
