Audio Stutter/lag Whilst Typing?
Jun 3, 2009
After installing Windows 7 64 bit yesterday, I'm very happy with it, but I've come across my first problem;Whenever I type at any sort of speed (most of the time, I touch type), regardless of the software in which I'm typing, the audio seems to lag or stutter very slightly, as if input from the keyboard is too much for the machine to process. It's only noticeable when I'm playing music.Perhaps I'm being a little lazy starting a thread this early, as I haven't yet exhausted all my options, but I'm curious to see if anyone's experienced the same issue and can save me some time. So far I've installed the latest Audio drivers I could find, to no avail. The next thing I'll try is to update my video card drivers, as it's currently only using the default Windows 7 wdm one. I figure if the UI of Windows 7 uses hardware acceleration, it might have an issue there.
System specs, for reference:
CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 4600+
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H rev. 1.0 (Realtek Azalia HD Audio chipset)
Memory: 2Gb DDRII 800
Video card: ATI Radeon 9800GT 512MB
Audio player: Winamp 5.55 (latest version)
It seems ATI's latest catalyst driver package for windows 7 doesn't list my video card as being supported, only the newer HD series cards, but I might give it a go anyway.

Certain audio CD's stutter when played and I am wondering what to look to change as to settings to resolve the issue.When running Resource Monitor, the CD's that stutter are showing that the "CPU", "Network", and "Memory" are all operating in the middle of the charts, but "Disk" is spiking at 100% and then dropping to lower values and then spiking again.Only certain commercially recorded CD's demonstrate this behavior such as Trans Siberian Orchestra, while others like BIllboard and such do not stutter and do not spike on "Disk" and play normally.

I very recently put together a new build for myself with a friend. Everything was great until the audio and visual would occasionally lock up for a second. The screen momentarily freezes and the sound makes what I can only describe as a digital stutter.
My build:

Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155)

the problem is stuttering. i get stutters in games, game movie scenes, videos, Internet videos, even as i type this to you know at times what i am typing doesn't appear, it stutters, then the words appear. in games, the stutter is probably every 10 seconds or so and makes games unbearable to play. with movies, the video will freeze but the audio will carry on, then once the stutter ends the video catches up and synchronizes with the audio. in firefox, like i mentioned earlier sometimes what i type doesn't appear for a few seconds, and also when i click on links it occasionally stutters. my laptop is an alienware mx15 which is less than 18 months old and 2months ago i wiped and reinstalled windows. things i have tried so far?
- updated graphics card driver which is a nvidea geforce gtx 420
- i did a disc defrag
- error checking of the hard drive (this got rid of the stuttering for about 10 mins whilst i was playing a game. however, when i go back to the properties on my c drive and look at this option again, there is the shield (2 blue quarters and 2 yellow quarters) usually this means an update, but nothing happens.

I am experiencing a very mild video stutter, which is to say that it is not a big lag and jump, but looks more like old film on a projector... as if there were fewer frames per second than what is really there. The audio is fine and stays in sync. I can buffer large streaming videos and usually they play back fine, but if I do other things with my machine, then the stutter will start.
I know it is not the source video, because a restart will correct the issue and the same stream will play just fine. This stutter also effects my screen saver. I have nVidia hybrid SLI, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M on board and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 card. They both run between 50C (no load) and 60C (moderate load - World of Warcraft, low video settings). System RAM never goes over 50%, and CPU's never go above 60C.

A weird freeze/stutter thing occured on my system (Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate) today at midnight (00:00). It was present for a second and was gone. My sound became corrupt during that second, as if BIOS was flashing, but after a second, the system unfreezed and returned to normal.I had this on my old computer, and not exactly sure what's causing that. I looked in the event viewer and the only log I could find at that time was this:"Windows Time service entered the running state." - Brief translation from my native language. [code]

i had some dodgy memory, but running memtest (which i needed too do to RMA) really buggered up my system, as i was getting instant BSOD just trying to get into memtest. Anyway manged it and duff memory sent off, i insert my working memory and get loads of windows errors and issues. Cut my losses and format and start a fresh. New Build...So everything is installed and working, however i seem to get some input lag and stutter when windows loads, but apart from that it seemed ok for the entire day.When i tried to play Battlefield3 i would get in to the game between 1 and 5mins my gcard fans go mental and the pc shuts down.temps are fine, but wondering if i have somehow borked my gcard or mobo using the dodgy memory?At a loss knowing what is at fault.all hardware has been working fine for about 8 weeks before i added the new duff memory. memtest says current memory is fine and i was able to stress test using prime for 45mins (all overclocks removed)

I am having stuttering Issues while playing any game, occasionally my mouse does this laggy thing on the desktop but rarely, but when in game about 5 minutes into it the game starts acting like im having lag spikes, but it does it when playing non online games as well. Mainly Metro 2033 (most noticeable when a bomb goes off) and Counter Strike GO after 5 minutes or so.When I originally had this problem I had used a program called ToolWiz which I would not recommend, it changes way to much and deleted things from windows. In any Case I reformatted my computer hoping it would solve the problem. [code] Have a Hyper 212 on the CPU 4 great case fans. Idles temps are CPU: 29c 39c under load.... GPU 30c 47c under load.I used FRAPS when in CS GO to check FPS and normal I get about 120fps, WHen the glitching stuff started the fps never went below 90fps, so given for changes in enviroment, I would say FPS isnt an issue.All drivers are updated. Going to run Memtest tonight, but doubt that I will see any issues.
Im trying to get Memtest to boot from disc, but cant seem to get it to load at start up, (had similar problem when I installed fresh OS, had to do it inside OS) But was looking through BIOS settings, and saw some things that somehow got changed, switched it back into Ganged mode, and set Voltage on DRAM to 1.55 from 1.51. Didnt have an issue before with it this low but we will see, still trying to figure out how to get that darn memtest disc to load.

About 2 months ago I bought a new laptop. (Asus n56v). Since day one, I noticed every application I run will freeze or stutter every now and then. Its totally random when it does this. No matter what I am doing, web browsing, watching a video or playing a game. I always notice the application will stutter. I never get any errors, the applications never crash they just stutter for a second. Now, being a smart wiz that I am, I half screened a video playing, while I had task manger opened in the other half. I went to the performance tab and waited. Sure enough when the video started to stutter, I noticed all of my cores went up to 100% for the time the video was stuttering.
Then they went back to normal 1 - 5%. Again its not just 1 program that does this. Every program does this. Its not my drivers as I installed them over and over again. Its not my video card as I was able to switch to my on board intel 4000 gpu and it still does the same thing. So my only theory now is that there is a background application running that seems to be trying to do something quite intensive every now and then and this seems to be making my applications stutter. So is there a way to check to see what application is using 100% of my cpu every now and then?

ive been revieving some stutter noticibly when playing and form of video or audio and it has been getting worse as of late. Overall performance has dropped as well.Ive tried using Latency Checker and Latencymon and Realtek Ethernet Diagnostics Utility to try and diagnose the problem and the closest thing ive come to is that it has something to do with 'Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller' as when I disable it the stutter appears to vanish and latency readings drop however I need that to connect to the internet so keeping it removed is not really an option.I have tried using a variety of drivers and methods from this forum and others and none have come to be of any use as of yet.

I have read the Posting Instructions and used the SF Diagnostic Tool, results included.I'm not sure if that includes all my system information, but if anything is missing I'll post as soon as I can.To clarify further the BSOD has happened on a variety of games, sometimes it can happen with in 5mins of loading one other times I am good for a couple of hours or I can play till I've quit the game with no crashing.I have done scans with MSE, Spybot and Malware Bytes with no issues found.From looking at other threads, one recommended using a driver scanner to check for updates (SlimDrives), again no updates found.That's all I can think of for now, also to be honest I am a bit reluctant in having to do a full re-install and would very much like to avoid that if possible.

I recently got a new PC. Whenever I try to download a file through ANY browser, there is no "confirmation box" (to be more specific, the popup box that shows asking what to do with the file before you begin to download it). The confirmation box only shows up once the file has fully downloaded. This is kinda frustrating as I'd like to see details whilst downloading files. I have tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera and even IE, all of these yield the same results. I've tried disabling Microsoft Security Essentials to see if that was interfering with downloading, but that was to no avail.
My specs:
Intel Core i7-2600k
Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 1155 socket
Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB
8GB of RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I'm getting Eco conscious in my old age. My laptop is usually on all day and I think it would be a better idea if I could use sleep mode or something to save power. Problem is I need to know if emails are arriving. Is it possible to set the computer up in such a way that it wakes up when an email arrives, or would sleep mode stop emails arriving in the first place? Using Live Mail by the way.

I have been getting what appears to be random BSOD. However, most times it has been whilst using IE Explorer (ver 8.0 ). I have an Asus G53SW Win 7 64bit 16Gb RAM. All updates have been installed and I believe all drivers are latest version. About 3 weeks ago the HDD had bad sectors and I had it replaced. I had a Crucial M4 128Gb SSD installed and an additional 8Gb of memory. I have run memtest (8 passes) and there were no errors. I have run HD Pro and there are no errors on the HDD. Attached herewith dump files and event logs. I have also attached a sys info file.

Is Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? -- x64 - the original installed OS on the system? -- Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - an OEM or full retail version? -- Full Retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? -- December, 2011 - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) -- January, 2012 System specs can be found at my profile: Windows 7 Forums - View Profile: Domenic This has just started happening recently. I'm not sure what is causing this, so I thought I'd ask here. I've attached what you have asked for.
EDIT: I'd also like to point out that even when it does not BSOD, after some time (ranges from 1 minute to 1 hour), the game crashes.

I'm installing Windows 7 Professional on my laptop and I'm at what I think is the final set up stage but it has been trying to connect to the network and apply the settings for an hour now. The loading bar is still scrolling continuously and I can move the pointer round but I can't do much else.

I am currently using Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit edition and just recently whenever I am downloading anything my computer will freeze for around 2 seconds and the download connection will restart to 0.00mb/s then start to connect back up to its full speed again. This happens I'd say around every 15 minutes and has started to become very annoying as you can imagine as a large file can take hours to download when it should only take half the time.

This is a new pc build using various parts we have accumulated. When using Internet Explorer I get app crashes. I have been playing DC Universe Online and get random app crash, display drivers stop responding, apphangB1, I also lose monitor signal. Here is a list of fixes we have tried already:
-We have disabled internet explorer add ons and even tried disabling IE completely, to no avail
-We have swapped out the 5770 for an 8800 GTX that we know works, same problem
-We have the latest BIOS/drivers
-We have run SpeedFan, CPU temp 41C
-We have run Memtest for both sticks of RAM at the same time in slots 1 and 3 and there was an error, so we tried to isolate the bad RAM by testing invidivual sticks in slot 3 - no errors on either stick? therefore, we put the sticks in slots 3 and 4, assuming there may be a problem with slot 1 - worked ok for a couple of hours, then game crashes and black screen with sound requiring reboot. Monitor is fine, as it works on my BF's pc with no problems.
-We have tried a couple of installs of Windows 7
-We have run chkdsk - no errors.The BIOS is running on default, nothing overclocked - we have used the correct timings for the RAM and autotimed them, same problem
We are currently not using an antivirus because we did not want to add more problems, but we will get AVAST.My BF has given up now, as there is nothing else he can think of to try. I feel we are so close to resolving the issue, as it did run fine for a while, but then a bunch of errors all at once. If it helps, here is a copy of the error log.

i am in dire need of some help with my pc. I am experiencing numerous BSOD issues. It started out whilst gaming with Battlefield 3 but is now happening all the time weather it be browsing the internet or just doing nothing. (If it helps firefox is crashing all the time). the computer is 10 months old and ran fine up until recently.I have had page fault, memory management, NTFS fault, bad pool, system exception.I have reviewed the forums and tried all the usual fixes, which goes along these lines:I used memtestx86 on my ram and found i had a dead stick so i purchased new 2 x 2G OZ 1333mhz, tested them for 20hrs and when they tested fine replaced the old sticks. Great i thought sorted, alas no.I removed AVG as one of the dmp files indicated it was that.nope carried out a chkdsk / r which showed no errors I removed all my nvidea drivers as they were being indicated but no its now worse than ever.I have attached the minidump files i have had over the past two days.

Recently whenever I've used an .exe installer I'll get an error as soon as I click start after choosing the directory, in the picture example I include below, it's of SA-MP, but it happens with any installer I try and use. Installers have worked previously, it's only recently it's stopped working.The error is;Error opening files for writing?
What I've tried;
-Full system scan with Comodo AV.
-Revealed hidden files and folders.
-Run the installer in both compatability (Even though it does work on Windows 7, and as an Administrator).
-Also done the scan on CMD (can't remember exact command).
Brief Info:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

Frequently--and growing more frequent--I get a lag in typing in Windows 7 for any application involving typing (browsers, Office, email....anything). At first nothing happens, and then everything I tried to type shows up several seconds later, sometimes as long as 20 or 30 seconds later, though usually with the first few letters missing.
