Sound is hacking

thomas12345 · 05-10-2006, 11:35 AM

I have tried everything now.
Gone from forum to forum whit out any results and my computer tech is saying that its nothing wrong whit my computer but he must be stupid.

if i turn on my computer it works fine for about 15 min. After that if i listen to music after that it starts to hack and the sound just stops sometimes and you just here a mix of sound. Like a mix of my base and all speakers playing the same note.

when im in a game the same thing happens, but the video also freezes whit the sound. The same goes for movies.

If i wait about 5 sec or sometimes up to a minute it goes back to normal but then again after a while it starts.

I have uninstaled ALL of my sound and video drivers I even changed the PCI slot of my soundcard and reinstaled its drivers. It worked fine for about 2 weeks then it started to hack again.

This problem is making me CRAZY!!

I duno but maybe this is related to my windows time down by the right corner is slow. It loses about 10-20 minuts sometimes and i manually have to resett it.

I would be soooooo happy if someone know how to fix this. I have serch the webb and found that many peapol had this problem but no one found the solution.

PS: My disk is in the right mode, dont remember if it was DMA or what, but i know its what it is suposed to be. And i can add that some hardware is charing the same IRQ.

My computer is a:
Genuine P4 1.7 ghz 632mb of ram.
Asus Radeon 9200SE graphic card.
Sixpack 5.1 soundcard (Terratec.com)
Samsung 55gig harddrive.
Intel modercard
Phonix bios

Have you tried a free memory tester? http://www.memtest86.com/ http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4226.html

thomas12345 · 05-10-2006, 11:57 AM

Hello.
Yes i tried it and it ran for a GREAT deal of time but it dident detect anything.
It just performed alot of tests and after a couple of hours i got tired of it and shut it off.

But this i did befor i moved the soundcard to another PCI slot, and after i moved it it worked whit out problems for 2 weeks. So i dont think its the memory.

Thnx for replying =)

Are you using surround sound?

If so, turn the bass down the the woofer and in the driver it self.

If that doesn't work you may have a crap load of spyware that is slowing your computer to a slug.

thomas12345 · 05-10-2006, 04:40 PM

Alredy done that, hade 1 spywares but it was a crapy spywares that dident do anything. And i tried to turn of the base but it dident work.

I used VLC player and listened to a mp3 and whatch the information it gave me when the music stardet to hack. This is what it told me:

It sounds like a bad chip on the card itself. Have you tried a different card to see if there any problems with another? You may have to plan on another one if this one is on the way out.

thomas12345 · 05-10-2006, 08:34 PM

OKay..I gues you mean the Soundcard chip?

Do you have a gues to a card of equal or even better quality but not to expensiv. Im an university student and i dont have alot of money.

Will the card also work whit my Kinyo speakers?

Thnx 4 the help.

PC eye · 05-10-2006, 10:41 PM

I know what it's like to be on a tight budget at times. Pine and Creative's Sound Blaster are the more or less bigger and more common names. If you are running intense games the Sound Blaster line can be a problem at times due to be a resource grabber just like some games. Pine offers a good line but lacks the EAX feature to add special audio effects like being in a concert hall when you assign a wav file to a Windows function. It gives it that echo just like you were right there. For cost savings locate an Audigy 4 Pro not any of the Audigy 2 line. Here's one review for a look. But remember you can grab the card even at a consumer electronics store like Circuit without the 5 1/4" panel and remote for about $70-80. http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?art=1517

thomas12345 · 05-18-2006, 03:22 PM

So. now i have a new sound card. Changed my Sixpack to a Soundblaster audigy and the problem sem to have ended. But the card is a pain in the *** to set up. The couldent have made it more complex to configure the card and speakers so the bas would work. Well well now the problem sem to have ended as i sad, but the same thing hapend last time, worked fine for 2 weeks and then the problem showed again. So i will write again in about 2 weeks and tell if its okay or bad. So maybe some other person can get som help here. Thnx to all replys.

You can create desktop shortcuts to the speaker settings, sound mixer, and EAX effects as well by right clicking on the links to create shortcuts in the Creative menu off the programs menu. With those right there you can configure the sound the way you want it. Once you create a new one it will have a number after it like "Sound Mixer(2)". When a duplicate is created you simply drag that onto the desktop. But just don't drag the original or plan on reinstalling the software again. Ouch!
