Hello all,
My sound had recently become stuttery, crackling, and sort of metallic sounding, maybe 'tinny' is the word. This is an issue both through HDMI and headphones. I've tried reinstalling and updating my drivers, I've cleaned a fairly nasty bit of dust from between the heatsink and fan, I've ran LatencyMon which prompted me to try DriverBooster which installed things I was sure I already had, and finally I've flashed the BIOS to the latest version. I'm not getting immediate audio issues at the moment but LatencyMon still reports in the 'red' on 'process latency', ISR and DPC 'routine execution times'. When idle I still get high 'hard pagefault resolution time'. Among the culprits, according to LatencyMon, are USBPORT.SYS, tcpip.sys, ndis.sys, ataport.sys and HDAudBus.sys. I did read that some of these monitoring programs incorrectly report activity on Windows 8 so maybe I HAVE fixed it? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
