| 638292 | 2008-02-07 08:25:00 | Help please (cliche, I know....) Recently rebuilt my PC with a GA-M56S-S3 motherboard by Gigabyte, Athlon X2 Dual Core 4800+ processor and Vista Home Premium. All was fine for some time. But now, when I play games, music, video or ANYTHING with sound, I get popping audio - hard to describe, but a bit like an old vinyl record (remember those) I have re-installed driver (worked for a while), updated to new driver(s). I have researched and played with all settings I can find (then reset to default...!), but I can't seem to fix the problem. Any ideas.....??? |

| 638294 | 2008-02-07 08:37:00 | No, straight from Gigabyte site. Should I have have gotten them from windowsupdate..?? |

| 638296 | 2008-02-07 09:54:00 | try to play around with the sound volumes eg. for my notebook if the main volume control is set to rather low, I can get less machine noise and normally I push the "Wave" part up and mute unnecessary things if main volume is up while wave is low, I can get a lot of unwanted sound so try a few combinations and see which works |

| 638297 | 2008-02-07 10:11:00 | When I play audio CD's and/or DVD's, the sound is fine. vob, wav, wma, mpe, avi, mpg, they all suffer from popping/clicking sounds. This is regardless of whether I play from internal/external hard drive, CD-ROM, USB key. Doesn't matter which program I use, media player, showtime..... Also, notice that, when watching video files, I get jitter at the same time the audio stutters Have tried adjusting volume, etc... ??? |

| 638298 | 2008-02-07 23:49:00 | Sounds like (;)) possibly any sound that plays directly from optical drive source is ok (no data conversion?), but from any other source needs a conversion stage (thru codecs?); maybe this may help point you in the right direction? | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 638299 | 2008-02-14 05:00:00 | Well . . . some progress . Looking in Task Manager, and noticed that InCD was clocking up (seemingly) large number of I/O reads and writes . Now, at this point, was willing to give anything a go . . . . Killed that process, and seems to have improved (in that it's NOT popping . . . ) . I experimented with various programs (some which may or may not include the word 'torrent'), and nothing had the same effect . Also noticed at one point, that NBHGui (related to InCD) was using 40-60% CPU . Killed that too . Still puzzling though . . . . . . . |

| 638300 | 2008-02-14 22:36:00 | Do you actually use InCD? I used to have it installed but it would often cause BSOD then when I realised I never used it I uninstalled it and problem solved. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 638301 | 2008-02-15 06:28:00 | Nope never used it. Never had one of those "Wish I had InCD" moments ever. Bye bye InCD. |
