Sound skips/cracks under windows 7 32bits

When I play any media that has sounds I get these periodical problems that sound like a skip or a scratch. I've downloaded the newest drivers of all my hardware.

Thanks for your help.

hey psikofunkster im with u man i got the same prob i hoped by joining windows 7 forum i could find a solution to this problem but so far i havent got any solution if u work out how to fix it could u plz notify me straight away it would be very much apreciated :) thanks

Boys, do a forum search here and you will find plenty to read

You can try many things but most will not work or will only work for a while. Windows 7 just has a major problem with audio that needs fixed. Submit a bug report with microsoft, we can't get enough people to complain. Just hope that it gets fixed. Most people are pretty sure it has something to do with windows 7 because the audio works fine on earlier versions and we've also been purchasing sound cards that should work but have the problem as well. Personally though I'm not counting on a fix for months or years or ever. I'm just very upset and disappointed.

Maybe this updated driver made just for your VIA HD VT1708S sound card and Windows 7 will help. If this one doesn't work try the Asus site.

Thanks for trying to help man, very appreciated.

I've already downloaded those drivers a few weeks ago the problem persists but its less.


Could it be AHCI related? first i was thinking that my processor wasn't powerful enough but its fine, isn't it? Im obtaining 5.9 (windows experience eval).

I want to mention another serious problem, when im playing video and make a pause after more than 5 minutes (more or less) when i press play there is no audio! and there is no way to have it back unless i reboot the pc!

This is a Windows 7 issue not my pc.

AHCI related is the problem certainly not - I suspect VIA as my hardware experience with VIA was not good, at the time being, especially concerning driver qualities. Maybe wait for a win7 driver
