Guest Andy Collins Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Hi I've always had problems with my PC where any sound that is being played 'stutters' when i'm typing I'm using a Realtek AC97 soundcard, and a generic USB keyboard. I've tried replacing the keyboard for another one, but it has made no difference Out of desperation, I formatted my PC and reinstalled it this weekend, but even with just Windows, and the device drivers installed, I still get this problem Can anyone suggest some things to try to fix this? I don't know if its relevent or not, but I also have a Soundblaster Audigy card installed, but this is disabled
Guest Unknown Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 Re: sounds cuts out when typing There are many items that can cause this. But basically when you hit a key, the sound program is interrupted and is not gotten back to in time, to continue with uninterrupted sound. Check for any programs running in the background. Do basic cleaning. I.E. Disk Clean---defrag etc. What is speed of your system and memory size?

Guest Andy Collins Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: sounds cuts out when typing My PC is an old P4 2.8Ghz Northwood, with 512Mb of PC2700 RAM There isn't anything running in the background, i've literally got Windows installed, and device drivers, thats it! Any running processes are Windows and/or device related As for disk cleaning, as I just re-installed the PC, the partitions were recreated, so there is only a day or two of temp/cached files, and there should be no fragmentation at all "Unknown" wrote: > There are many items that can cause this.

Guest Unknown Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: sounds cuts out when typing Any virus programs running? Try right clicking task bar select task manager and check performance while typing.
