Hi
The problem started a year ago only in games that after couple of hours playing the sound would just stuck repeating the same sound (1-second infinite loop) then I had to force shut the game and after a couple of minutes the sound stop but I can’t play any music and the Firefox’s flash player crash lots of time until I restart and everything went back to normal, well that wasn’t bothering me that much but weeks ago the problem started showing up playing videos of even YouTube and sometimes I can’t play any sort of audio so I know the problem accrued during no sound is playing please I need help


Thanks
 
I'm sure the Firefox is not the cause of the problem (i uninstalled once and the sound issue didn't change) and about updating my sound card i did that solution months ago and nothing happened
 
well according to device manager its one of those
Avenx Virtual Audio Device
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
NVIDIA High Definition Audio
SRS Audio Sandbox (WDM)
Unimodern Full-Duplex Audio Device
VIA High Definition Audio
 
I think this has more to do with wider system stability. Please download PC Wizard from my sig install it and go to FILE, SAVE AS and click OK> Copy the text out of that text file into this thread.

Also post your exact model PSU.
 
You should post yo full system specs or at least motherboard and graphics card.

You have nvidia audio and via hd audio, do you know which one you are actually using ?
 
Try the following software issues first

Download and install each of the following in order, restarting in between each install.

Intel chipset drivers

nvidia graphics drivers

VIA sound card drivers

then...

in the windows start button search field, type cmd, right click on the command prompt and run as administrator. Then type in the command prompt window (with spaces):

sfc /scannow

Let it finish and restart.

Update windows. Apply all essential updates and hardware related updates.

If all of the above doesn't help, then you can consider updating the bios. This comes with an element of risk, so only do this if you have a good back up system.

Finally, if all of the above doesn't help, you need to review hardware. I would start at temperatures when gaming. Please download MSI Afterburner and install it. Use this to monitor CPU and GPU temps when gaming as this can cause the issues you have seen. Please note there is no point in doing all of this until we know everything is up to date. If temperatures are high, you will need to ensure all dust is cleaned out of fans and the computer generally. If the CPU is overheating you may want to replace the thermal paste using Arctic Silver 5 and reaplying via this method.

If that doesn't help, then you need to either test your RAM. Download MEMTest and run it overnight to check for errors. You run it by burning it to a CD/DVD and booting from it. If no errors then move on.

You then need to either look at testing or replacing your PSU. You do this by testing the 12V rail with a multimeter by inserting the positive probe into a molex connector (positive probe yellow, negative black). You then need to take note of minimum and max 12V rail voltages during gaming after extended periods. Most multimeters will present the min and max voltages. If these go out of spec (12V +/- 5%) you need to replace the PSU.

Finally if that doesn't work, Id stronly recommend reinstall Windows. When you do, install the 64bit version this time as that will allow you to use all of your RAM.


Let me know if you need further help with anything.

the first one said the i don't meet the minimum requirements of installing the software and other than that i did all the rest (waiting to see if the problem is solved)
 
Driver and or IRQ conflict is my guess. Taking a logical step by step clean up and driver replacement on a stable (update bios and windows) system is the only real way to properly solve these issues.
