Hi There

I have an ASUS M2A-VM Motherboard in my computer (Its the one that runs my radio station).
Yesterday it was fine and playing out music just fine.  Today however when I got up the audio is stuttering, clicking, popping
and when I do something like defragment the drive (just as an example) the audio speed slows right down.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, to no avail.
Windows Updates are not enabled, so that didn't cause it.
AVG has been removed, that made no difference.

Oddly a PCI Audigy card in the same machine, usually used for previewing/cueing up, plays fine when set to be the main
audio output.

Someone has suggested to reseat the RAM which I'm going to try next.. but not sure why that would affect on board audio?


Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm pulling my hair out (and there certainly isn't enough of it to do that) ;-)

I like the M2A-VM for a start the onboard DVI = great :)

We have heaps of them in the office I can say had more success with Realtek audio straight from the Realtek site instead of using ASUS supplied ones :)

Other things to try are mute microphone imputs if not used and unconnected.

If your not using HD Audio (most people dont) put into AC97 mode in the bios (will only affect front audio header) but its all the little things to try and get rid of that sort of problem.

Hi.. Something I will try.  I disabled the on board sound last night, however sound still stutters via the second soundcard when accessing programmes (even ftping a file to the PC's ftp server will cause stuttering).

Oh, where do I see that?  The post screen happens so quickly.

Something I should also mention is the PC seems very slow, and it shouldnt be as it's a 1.9ghz CPU.
