Sound Stutters resulting Windows freeze

Hi guys, I've installed Win 7 Ultimate x86. The problem I'm facing is that whenever I enable my sound card driver and try playing an audio, the audio stutters and the computer freezes. I have to restart, use safe mode to disable the sound card and then use my pc. I've looked all over the net for solutions and these are what I have done so far...

- Downloaded and installed codecs for High Definition Audio Device
- Downloaded and installed Windows 7 x86 compatible driver for my sound card (Creative SB Audigy Value).
- Disabled all audio enhancements
- Changed playback sound to come through speakers (this one automatically happens if I re-enable the sound card).
- Uninstalled and reinstalled all the soundcard drivers from Device Manager.

The problem still persists.

I'm pretty tired at this point and have hit a dead end, so any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

But I don't have BSOD issue :/ I'm still trying it. Thanks.

PS. There's also a faint static noise coming from the speakers. Sound card is disabled atm.

I did get BSOD when I tried installing the driver from the original driver CD (which wasn't compatible with Win 7). I'm trying the BSOD thing now.

of no surprise to me, the audio driver caussed the bsod

Is this where you've been getting your drivers?

Okay go ahead and use the program to completely delete the drivers from your machine, then redownload and reinstall the drivers fresh.
apparently something needs to be cleaned up and reinstalled that isn't getting covered by the regular uninstall.
Here's that link again. Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
Creative labs products are supported by it.

I've already tried deleting all the audio drivers and reinstalling them again. But I'll try it with Driver Sweeper once more.

edit: should I delete all the drivers or just the sound card ones?

yeah there's little pieces that rarely get picked up by the regular uninstall method, that's why apps like that exist.

EDIT: I'VE FIXED MY PROBLEM.


Downloaded Realtek HD Audio Codec from Realtek website
Downloaded the latest driver update for my sound card (compatible for my Win 7)
Reinstalled Win 7 from scratch
Installed Realtek Codec
Installed sound card driver

and voila! No problems so far. No lags, no freezes, no stutters. Audio playing smooth as butter.

Sigh. Well the problem isn't quite over yet....

Last night I set windows to do the necessary updates and went to bed. Woke up and found my PC frozen up. :confused:

Restarted windows and it again froze on the main welcome menu (on the "Please Wait" phase). Tried safe mode and it did some updates in the welcome menu and restarted automatically. And this time, again, windows started normally and froze in the welcome menu.

I then went ahead and removed my soundcard and now everything works just fine. Went in Device Manager and saw instead of two "HD Audio Device" there is one HD Audio Device and one new ATI HD Audio Device. Like one got replaced or something.

edit:

I have reinstalled the updated driver for my soundcard again. But now I get static noise instead of sound. No freezes so far though.

Okay you have too many sound devices active.
The ati one only needs to be working if you are using a hdmi cable and use sound from your tv/monitor.
Otherwise it can be safely disabled.
Just right click the speaker icon in the tray choose playback devices
Select the ati item on the list, click properties and use the drop down to disable it.
I would do this for all the audio items in that list except the one you are currently using.
This should prevent future conflicts.

I fixed it after a lot of work. It's back to two HD Audio Device and one SB Audigy drivers. Sounds fine so far. I think the Windows Update effed everything up.

Btw, is it okay if I don't use Windows Update ever?

Windows updates are generally security related so it is best to grab them.

You really should disable the audio devices you aren't using, or you are just asking for future problems.
