Snappy/Cracky/Poppy Audio Issues
Well the title basically sums up the problem; my sound is extremely cracky
and is making all this snapping and popping noises while playing music in Windows Media Player 11. This issue is occuring to me right now in RC1; I do realize RC1 came out a long time ago but I was never able to test Vista on this computer upto now due to I had no extra HDs around my house and my HDs were all full/in use. This issue occured also in another earlier Beta but I just gave up fixing it. This is a Onboard Sound Card might I add. The board in my computer is a "Nvidia nForce 420D" (AC97 audio) and in the Device Manager it appears as these devices: NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) Audio Codec Interface NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MCP Audio Processing Unit NVIDIA(R) nForce(TM) MIDI UART The drivers it is using are found at http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_do...etadriver.html under "nForce Windows Vista RC1 Drivers" (x86). It is in a Hp Pavilion 761n and these are the BASE specs for it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...cname=bph07376 (It does support Vista due to I have upgraded the Video Card, added more Memory, added a DVD+RW, Added a TV Tuner and a couple other upgrades). And just as a sample, this is what it sounds like while playing music: http://media.putfile.com/Vista-RC1-Audio-Issue Thanks in advance guys, hopefully you can solve this issue! :P - Barret |

Just tried RC2 for kicks; it seems a bit better but it does jitter somewhat.
It's actually livable though in RC2 I find (Well at the moment, might get worse :P). "Joseantonio" wrote: Same problem with SB Audigy 2 (after installing Creative Labs Beta Driver).

Okay guys, I can confirm that it does this in Windows Vista RC1, RC2 and RTM
on my computer. I think I'm gonna have to get a new soundcard to replace my onboard sound card (grrrr) - Barret "Barret Newman" wrote: Well the title basically sums up the problem; my sound is extremely cracky and is making all this snapping and popping noises while playing music in Windows Media Player 11.

"16 bit, 8000 Hz (Telephone Quality)" to "16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)" and nothing sounds better "Steve Coulthurst" wrote: after seeing the probs that you suffer after instyalling the creative beta driver, i can tell you i had the same problem.... i solved it in a couple of minutes, hope it works for you as well... my card is also an audigy 2, and im running build 5744.... right click on the speaker, in taskbar.... select playback devices...highlight "speakers" and click on properties.... in speaker properties window,go to the advanced tab.....and change it to 16 bit 960000kbps studio quality..... apply or ok, or wotever, and test yer music / films etc.. it SHOULD now work, did for me. hope that helps ya m8. |
