Hi,
I'm having some problems with audio. I've been using Windows XP because, quite honestly, I couldn't be bothered to upgrade to & and I loathe Vista.
My computer has a Realtek onboard sound module and on streaming and playback I get distortion and skipping.
The embarrassing thing is I'm a sound engineer. lol. I have an external soundcard that started skipping and after some research I realised it could well be driver conflict with a Logitech HD Webcam I installed. However, I've reinstalled XP a couple of times and I'm still having the problems.
Actually, further to this. I'm experiencing a general staggering lagging affect whilst typing. It could be said this is my keyboard but it's hard not to wonder if there's some kind of connection. I'm a sloppy typist at times, but even so...
I'm wondering if I should just make a plunge to Windows 7 because XP is just being crap and it's time to move on. Most of the programs I use were made in the Win7 era, but some were not, which is why I haven't bothered to upgrade yet. I have a few projects that I need to sign off in XP but I have NO idea why the sound suddenly started to do this.
There's nothing wrong with the hardware. I'm sure of it. I've had a few PCs, I build this one, it should be fine it's less than two years old and I know that everything is compatible. It was fine for ages.
Any advice?
