Just upgraded to nvidia 760, audio and TF2 lag.

hi Guys. I just recently upgraded my Graphics card from the nVidia 550ti to the 760. (Intel i7 3.2hz, win 7, 12 gb ram) everything installed correctly, and I installed all of the nvidia drivers. Here's my problem though: every now and then, my audio glitches out. It freezes and goes 8 bit on me for a split second. sometimes It stays like that and I have to unplug my headset to get it to work right again. Like i said, It seems to be really scratchy. some of my friends are saying its my motherboard or power supply. I dont see how though. I have a 1000w.

Hello and welcome Master. Mate just because you have a large PSU doesn't necessarily mean it is supplying either the correct volts or current to the machine.

Have you tried checking the volts out? Use this if you are comfortable with it.

PSU - Jump Start

BUT WARNING first don't attempt to disassemble the PSU under any circumstances.

Post back if you have any problems doing this we are here to help.

Forgot also run Speccy and post back the temps too please http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download download from piriform

Check to see if the card is seated properly.

You could try going back a driver or 2 , instead of using 320.49 try 314. Do a custom clean install to get rid of any leftovers. If that still doesn`t work, try 1 of the beta drivers.

Does it happen during gaming AND internet video ? How about if you watch a dvd ?

You say that when you remove your headset the sound rights itself? I'm presuming your headset uses the onboard sound or soundcard as the GPU will only carry sound via HDMI. Maybe try a fresh install of your soundcard's drivers too.

Have you checked out those PSU volts if not then it really doesn't matter I shall leave you with Boozad and AddRam.

Where is the front panel audio header located on the motherboard in relation to the graphics card? Check that this is properly connected.

I'm going to send the card back to NewEgg. Everything works FINE with my 550ti. EVERYONE is saying that its my PSU that's the problem. How can i test this?
