Scratchy sounds & lockups solution

Recommended Posts

I had lots of lockup troubles with SBlive and VIA motherboard i thought i fixed with low AGP aperture and 1x and latest BIOS,  i even eventually went to the AC97 onboard sound and chucked the SBLive and it was much better (although occasionally looping & scratchy sound )

But now i just played NAM,69 and SEBnam2 (really good BTW) and the same sound lock ups appear sad.gif  

short answer to problem smile.gif set multimedia>audio>advanced properties>performance hardware acceleration slider a notch or two down at a time till it becomes stable.  Can also do from the DirectX>sound icon in control panel.

My sound now has no scratchiness or looping and game is smoother/faster and doesn't lockup!

Put a 400W power supply to replace my 250W one, problem fixed!!!!!!!!!!  

Now can run 4x 128aperture and full sound acceleration with no lockups!!!!!!!!

(P.S. my registry has no turbo entry for creative)
