Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

[Guest flahmeshess]

When my CPU is barely utilised, there is no problem with the sound

generated (my sound is built-in on the motherboard).

 

But when I start using the CPU, the sound breakup.

 

Can anyone give me some hints how I can troubleshoot this ?

 

Thanks.

I suppose a first step might be to visit your motherboard site, or PC maker

if a large OEM eg Dell / Hp or Laptop and ensure you have the latest chipset

& sound drivers

Re: Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

 

I've updated both. But it's still happening. I notice that it's not

due to CPU utilisation as I wrote a small batch

 

:repeat

goto :repeat

 

and I run this 2 times to use up my Core Duo.

 

When I play the MPEG, the sound is not distorted (choppy).

 

But when I have high harddisk (SATA) activity (eg copy a very hugh

file from 1 SATA disk to another), the sound is choppy. Not only

that, when I play the MPEG using WIndows Media, the whole play slowed

down and it choppy. I wonder if this is correct behaviour and that I

should leave it alone.

 

Or could be some settings, caching that I should tune. I understand

that for SATA, the DMA is on by default and cannot be adjusted.

 

Please advise me. Thanks very much..

I'm not sure, but perhaps run dxdiag, the direct x diagnostics tool - it

also reports on sounds

Re: Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

 

Hi !

I've done the diagnosis. No problems.

I've called support for my motherboard. They says that when the

CPU utilisation is high, there would be choppy. How can I determine

the choppiness in my situation is due to CPU utilisation and not due

to the problems ? Any advice ? Thanks.

Re: Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

 

Open Task Manager and watch the CPU utilization.

Re: Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

 

I've already done that. But my question is how do I confirm that it's

due to the CPU utilisation and not something else (which could happen

at the same time when the CPU utilisation is high) ?

Re: Sound Breakup when CPU is utilised

 

Look at WHAT is causing the utilization.
