Hi
About 2 months ago I did a massive upgrade on my PC(processor, mobo, ram) and everything was going ok until I started to notice problems it had with audio in some games.
The audio stuttered and was garbled for a few seconds, this audio problem seemed to conincide exactly when I got a slight FPS hit.
So I though it might be the on board graphics that came with my motherboard so I went down to my locla PC world and picked up a Soundblaster 5.1 digital, after installing the card and all drivers in the box I fired up the game that was having the most problems with the sound, GTA Vice city.
The problem also effects Cd's being played on my computer, sound skips ,jumps and garbles.
While the problem was slightly improved it was far from gone and the sound problems were still occuring. The strange thing is that with some games the audio is fine and with others the problem is really bad.
My freind says he thinks its the CD drive I have, but Im not sure about that. I have disabled Creative disc detector but the problem still persists.
Oh and I did disable the on board sound in Windows and in BIOS.
My specs are:
P4 2.4 Ghz with Hyper Threading enabled
512 DDR pc2700
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 64mb
40gb hard disk
Sound Blaster Live 5.1 Digital
Intel D865GL motherboard
All running under Windows 98 SE
Can anyone please help me?
All replies appreiciated
