Weird sound issue
My sound runs flawlessly when i have some process going on (like disk cleanup, burning, etc.) If i have nothing going on, my sound is laggy and cracks. Anybody have an idea why?

Where can I fix the CPU throttling in the BIOS?

I think in your bios it might be the "dynamically switchable" setting. Turn that off and see how it goes.
I found something related to it here and seems so.

" Dynamic CPU Frequency Mode = Dynamically switchable" Very interesting, I actually trie d that about 20 minutes ago. I had the option stated above in the picture, "always high," and "always low." I put it on "always high" but no avail. Should i try always low? | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba M45 S359

Can't hurt to try it but it doesn't sound so good...like it will always make the CPU run slow or something.
You can use CPU-Z in Windows to find out what is going on after you try.
Try actually updating the bios too, if one is available from manufacturer's site. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...ily=1073768663 | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self built

I do have the latest bios (they only updated it once i believe). I'll see what it's running at now and what it runs on "always low" with Everest and post back. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba M45 S359

Always high: 
Always low: 
Everest wasn't so useful, so I use d CPUZ. At first, the audio was working great with "always low" and then it went back to crackling and lagging. I'm guessing it's a driver issue but is it fixable (this laptop is 4 years old). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba M45 S359

Anybody have any ideas or anybody else with a Toshiba M45 with some input.
Edit: I just helped my cousin install Windows 7 on his laptop and his audio works fine. The d600 is a lot older than the Toshiba M45 S359.
