Ok that was the bummer. It's all appeared that Windows 8 is not so much of a culprit actually. It's working absolutely fine as a 32bit installation on my comp. So it simply sppears that Windows 8 64bit demands the better hardware I mean not older than a 2 year comp probably and a bit newer...

Thanks. I've tried every step you suggested for me to do. Nothing helps so I think although my comp supports 64bit architecture it's simply not up to the par with 64bit systems.I think the chipset causes spikes etc. So maybe we should leave the topic and I should buy a new comp that will suport...

Ok. It looks like this is the culprit. NDIS.SYS. This driver or file takes almost 60% of the processor power causing huge spikes. How this can be fixed ? NDIS is located in system32, can it be modified or shouldn't be touched at all...?

Ok...now the interesting thing. I downloaded the Latencymon. True it showed that my NDIS Driver ( network ) has the highest latency time. So I tried to update it. Now it shows NDIS driver's latency fine but still get a crackling and stuttering sound...here's the screen pic:

Thanks, I'll check this out.

Thanks for suggestion. I don't have HPET option in my BIOS unfortunately so I tried to disable it in CMD. It didn't help. There's often a buzzing , stuttering sound popping out. All drivers have been updated and all devices. So I guess this has something to do with IDE ATAPI / DMA controllers.

Hi , the option in CMD didn't help...here is the explanation. All stuttering is the Windows' programming skeleton issue. It needs to be fixed through the Windows Update I guess: View topic - Windows 8 Beta - Audio pops & clicks - Windows, Apple, Application, Abandonware and Game Beta...

P.S. I've been using Windows Vista Business for about 6 years I think...I never experienced popping or crackling sound issue in it also in windows 7 and there have been so many complaints about Vista, I always regarded both Vista and 7 as really stable and excellent systems. Though 7 and 8 have...

Hi all. Coming back to this again. Please don't rely on the solution above. I wrote it works in 90% and that's true it doesn't work in 100%. The problem exists in all Windows 8 versions both 32 and 64 bit and it is a high latency issue. It looks like Windows 8 has been stripped of the most...

Thanks a lot, no need for searching now , anyway I was doing the same for days...!

I think I have finally found a solution for Windows Pro 8 64bit which in fact didn't need any solution probably ;) hence the problems....( it works al least in 90 % let's say so... ). Ok now to the point. First of all ,after you do a clean install of Windows 8 64bit do not refer to any...

Yes, I tried almost everything. Intel 945 chipset drivers, Sigmatel 64bit for Windows 7 etc. does not working. I think they need to put the update on Windows update or release 64bit sound drivers asap ?

Hi all, I have read quite many posts so far regarding this issue in Windows 8. It Looks like they have overlooked the Sound skipping problem during playback on different programs and codecs. Whenever one uses Media Player, Spotify or any other audio programs the Sound skipps and crackles. It...
