Is there a known audio issue with a recent Win 7 update?
Is there a known audio issue with a recent Win 7 update?
I watch TV and movies on my Win 7 PC, 23" widescreen monitor, with the audio sent to a stand-alone 'stereo'(5.1 receiver).
Recently, a few weeks ago, after a MS Win 7 update, my audio started sounding garbled, poppy, clicky, thumpy, and the longer times between reboots, screechy. After a reboot, the audio is fine for about a day or so, then goes 'bad'.
Is anyone aware of a recent Win 7 update that would cause this? And if so, has MS put out a 'patch' for it?
If not, should I 'back out' that update?
I've checked the following:
1) receiver is OK, as stand-alone CD/DVD players play audio/video fine.
2) The cables between my PC and receiver are plugged in tight, not broken, or bent.
3) Ran the mdsched.exe(Windows Memory Diagnostic), came back OK.
I'm current with all MS updates, there is one Nvidia Graphics Adapter update that I would prefer not doing, as a few years back, I updated my GPU and it totally messed up my WMP. Does the Nvidia card just process video, or does it also process audio? If it does process audio, maybe that's the issue?
Anyone have any 'tests' that I can do to locate the issue that's causing sound to go bad about a day after rebooting?
Win 7, 16GB RAM, with all current MS updates.
Thanks!
