Short Freezes and Audio Dropouts every few mins
Hi I have recently been suffering from some very frustrating problems with my audio output. Every couple of minutes the laptop will (very briefly) freeze up and the sound will cut out for maybe half a second. The freezing is only noticeable in games really. After this the laptop makes a whirring noise.
I've run several CPU and fan tests and HD error tests and they all have come out ok.
DPC latency checker is coming out with some massive spikes occasionally but these dont seem to coincide with the audio drop-out (all though they have sometimes). Turning of wireless doesn't help (it reduces the smaller spikes but not the off the chart ones ive been seeing recently).
Anti virus shows up nothing either.
I have updated all my video and soundcard drivers with no joy, I'm not really sure where to go from here but it sounds pretty un-healthy and i'm a bit worried .
Its a Asus Laptop 4 gig Ram Intel 2 Core Duo 2.2Ghz
Souncard = emu 0404
Video = Nvidia G102M
