Dear all,
I've got a problem with my sound card and wondered if you could spare a moment and help me out.
The problem is that while playing a music or a video clip, the sound frequently freezes for a second, i.e. still playing that particular tone, and then it continues normally. Meanwhile the CPU usage shots up.
If I execute sth while playing, this happens more frequently.
My system:
Sony VAIO laptop VGN-FS285H - Pentium M Centrino 1.73 GHz - Realtek High Def. Sound card -WinXP-Pro-SP2
I have installed/reinstalled:
- Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for high Definition Audio (Tried both
KB835221 and the newer KB888111)
- Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
- Latest DirectX
But the problem still persists. Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance for taking the time to response.
Kind Regards,
Masood
PS: I also have WinXP-Home and FC5 installed in my computer; both of them are OK.

Hello
I had the same problem months ago
I called the responsaible and I sent back my VAIO to the manufacture.
What they did is to reinitalize the laptop and now all s perfect.
So if you have this problem retore the first application software of VAIO and the freeze should disapear.

Halleluia.
to start with, Blencogo you are a king. If i was in your neighbourhood you would get a massive round of beers for the help! Or whatever you drink. And Resonate you would be greatly welcome for your efforts also!
Problem is gone. Sound perfect, overall performance of the laptop are now amazing. Startup in 3 and a half seconds. Or well at least performances are back to what they are supposed to be for what i paid!
The resolution was very simple: i just desintalled the drivers of the Primary IDE, and rebooted. No hotfix no nothing.
I was chocked in the reboot to see the Welcome page after just a few seconds, and a few seconds more, i was into Windows! DVD got automatically reinstalled also in the reboot.
I have Device 0 at DMA level 5, and Device 1 at DMA level 2. I'll call it a go!
Even WMP11 is working as a charm, so i give it a chance
Again, thanks for the help, you rock!
cheers,
david

Many thanks for this information. I posted a query earlier today but this seems to be the answer to my problems. I too have had video clips interrupted, poor sound on dvd's and freezing frames and interruptions on Skype.
The only problem is....... I don't know where to go to deinstall the Primary IDE! Can anyone help me please?
Many thanks in advance,
Veronica
