audio makes me game lagg.

[jordikok]

Hey, im a 100% sure its not the instalation, all my games lagg when i turn sound on. Especially cod 4 wich is the game i like the most

 

[jordikok]

anyone ? :S

 

[mmkarimi]

to this end you have done the following tasks:
- check disk your HDD
- check up your ram memory
- checked your graphic card
- re installed windows
- changed your PSU
- checked your on-board sound output
- updated your bios

AND STILL NO ANSWER

 

[jordikok]

yes "

 

[mmkarimi]

have you ever tested this game on any other computer?

 

[jordikok]

well, my previous pc, i had the same issue, so i bought a way better pc and was hoping it would be fixed but no...

when i turned sound off on my previous pc it had no lagg, and when i turn it on it starts lagging... it also has a realtek audio

 

[mmkarimi]

i mean test this game on a friend computer, see if the problem is with your installation program

 

[jordikok]

but it is with all games.. no matter what i use steam/or just the cd i still get it..

and a friend plays mw2 on 1280-720 without lagg.. and he only has like 2 gb ram

Your issue is hard to diagnose because you have to define lag as it is relative - lag to me may be different from lag to you.

- Also, are these on-line games? If so, could it be an internet problem.

- What "specific" games are they? Example: Skyrim is a game known for it's Micro-stuttering, as are most Bethesda games (Fallout 3 & New Vegas).

- Do all the games have the latest patches?

- Have you updated your audio and video drivers?

- Have you tried cutting down on background tasks?

- Does Windows have all it's critical patches including the service pack?

These are but a few questions of many when it comes to diagnosing "lag" and one that requires a lot of patience and testing/experimenting to reduce of eliminate the issue.

Okay, ill try everything you just said, and yeah i have updated audio and video drivers and the games are online, Call Of Duty 4 call of duty modernwarfare 2 call of duty modernwarfare 3 and call of duty blackops #2 also need for speed underground

 

[mmkarimi]

what do you mean by online game, this is not much related to your problem of sound, but are you doing network games, if so, what kind of router so you use, is your network speed sufficient.

 

[jordikok]

this is me network speed http://www.speedtest.net/result/2432003043.png

 

[jordikok]

okay, i did everything u said in ur turtorial but still no diffrence

It could be. This is why I asked the questions I did, and why you must take the systematic approach to diagnosing "lag" since just about anything can cause it.

I know he said sound card, but as I said, lag can be caused by anything, including internet speed, which is why I asked about On-line gaming, which is where "lag" is usually associated.

As I said, there is no easy answer to fix "lag" since just about anything can cause it. As I said, it's going to take patience and experimentation to find s suitable solution. This is something you're going to have to do as no one on this end can do it for you.

Also be aware that your system specs could simply be inadequate for the game and/or game settings you're using.

Many people will tell you many things but only YOU know what you have on your computer and and how it's been configured to run. We can offer "suggestions" but it's up to you to diligently try them... thus the patience and experimentation.

Here's but a few examples of trying to reduce lag: How to Reduce Game Lag: 8 steps - wikiHow

Good luck.

but you see, he can even fly on his internet speed.
what about the router speed,
your wireless modem or switch,

try to play out of network, does the problem still exist?

 

[jordikok]

I just tried, without network single player, and it just runs smooth, but as soon i go online, no matter what game im getting fps spikes/drops

 

[mmkarimi]

Well done that's it.
first connect with LAN cable not with wireless
if problem still exist,

some routers has a high speed port 1Gb/s
try to check those
those ports are exactly designed for gaming and network sharing

But, i dont think its the network.. cause when im playing with (SOUND OFF) i dont have any lagg at all but when i turn (SOUND ON) it is getting realy laggy...

 

[jordikok]

and i dont have a wireless connection.

EDIT: i also figured out its only (terminal map) on call of duty that laggs especially in the more bright spots but cod 4 is just hopeless, but i cant play cod 4 without sound then i get a error ;(
