Occasional buzzing sound during playback of music or new.

This past week I noticed a humming noise - like when I play music, movies or new videos. It's more than a distortion of the sound like Max Headroom, that a real buzz. And it is not steady, just casual.  It is a four years, Dell Studio XPS 435 t/9000 with Win7 Pro 64. The audio is an integrated RealTek chip, not his own card. I have added a second hard drive last week, but others that I did not any changes.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled audio drivers (twice).  I swapped the speakers.  I have downloaded and run the Dell Diagnostics software.   Nothing worked, it still happens. I'm puzzled. Anyone seen this before? Can it be fixed?

Thank you

Thanks for the help, Jeeped. You're right in that it was probably a problem of resources.

I did as you suggested and turned off all non - Microsoft Services and startup applications. After the reboot, I did a sound check and everything was fine. Then I turned on four startup applications that I always use (Zone Alarm, Avast, battery backup Power Panel, Ad Fender), restart, and an audio verification. Still good.

Then I started by reactivating the Services that I knew I wanted, reboot, all still good. When previously they were ALL checked, now there was only about half checked, and everything was fine. Those that I left without control was for the most part, the automatic software updates that are always on and question updates in the background. Of course, these services were keeping busy and hogging the resources needed elsewhere.

So after a few reboots just to make sure that any change locked in, the sound was always clean. THEN I opened IE - 10, the browser that I use usually, and the distortion was back. So I closed and tried Chrome, and Firefox. None of these browsers created distortion. It was only IE - 10. I have certainly taken to heart your notion of "resources as long as the problem", I was thinking then that I had a bad IE-10 install, or something went wrong turned after an update. I checked my "use graphics" and IE - 10 was monopolizing everything.

I uninstalled IE10 down to IE - 9. No deformation. Then did an install of IE - 10 instead of a simple update of IE - 10. Who took care of her. Something in the update IE-10 has been the origin of the problem. It took a lot of work, but what was needed was a complete installation, not just an upgrade. After talking to a buddy of mine at work that sometimes help in our IT Department, he said several desktop computers have had the same problem, and they thought it was the 'upgrade vs install' fix a few weeks back.

I know this is a long answer, but I wanted to throw him out for you in case others run into the same problem and write about it. I can give more details if anyone wants them.

Thank you very much, you got me on the right track.

  • Sound of the buzzing/stutters during playback and music or video

    I've had this laptop for a few weeks now, and since I was a strange humming noise every time I play music or watch a video.

    It seems as if the music made a break of about one second and made a HUMMING noise while doing so, then continues with music. It happens throughout the song/video.

  • Interruptions with buzzing ("BAAAMP") during playback of music files.

    The audio from any media produced a strong buzz, like a "BAAAMP" and the interruption. This isn't there after a full recovery of windows (provided that the factory) program, but during updates and software payments appears. Remove the software one by one, with no result. Reconfigured the settings of the sound, no results. What on earth could be the cause this annoying problem. I use this computer for DJing and it is unacceptible. Help, please...!

    Hello

    Number description, I understand that playback audio from any media produces a loud gurgling and interruption. I understand the inconvenience.

    (1) what version of the Windows operating system is installed on the computer?

    (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

    (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

    I suggest you to reinstall the latest version of the audio driver from the computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.

    Please respond with the above information so that I can help further.

    Kind regards.

  • Unable to hear sound during playback of music Web site Sampler

    Hello

    I am unable to hear any sound when trying to listen to samples of music on Amazon (for example) and also to other sites. I activated the firewall to all players of the internet, which is launch and start playing, but there is no sound.

    The volume is definitely on the speakers and I tried Windows Media Player and it plays radio and other music on my pc perfectly well. So I'm not sure about why I don't hear samples of music from websites now (I did in the past).

    An example of a link that has sample music is http://www.amazon.ca/Madeleine-Peyroux-Careless-Love/dp/B0002NRRAG

    Please can you let me know your opinion about this issue.

  • No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player

    1. No sound during playback of DVD in Windows Media Player.

    Media Center recently stopped working altogether, the message alleges a solution will be found, but he never comes to the top with one and there seems to be no resolution right ahead of internet, I can see others too have a similar problem.

    So I would try Media Player, no joy it is thinking.

    It reads the dvd no sound, I go into options and make sure the external emu sound card is set, yes all well, but as soon as I put it on youtube videos sound turns off by train to play media player so a sort of conflict, if I close Opera / chrome browser and reopen his is back.

    Update or reinstall the drivers for the sound card in Device Manager, checking the PC or Support Downloads Web page of the card for more recent or different driver.

    Physically, reinstall the sound card to make sure that the contacts and the slots are clean and tight connections.

    If you have an audio chip embedded, try to use it to compare.

    Try the VLC media player to see if it has the same problem.

    Have you updated flash player for your browser?

    Try another browser to compare.

  • His jerky in Windows 7 and Realtek audio during playback of music - after the release of sleep

    Hello

    Lately I'm encounter problems playing music on my desktop PC and my house. My desktop PC is x 64 bit my home PC is x 86. What they have in common is a NVidia card (7300 on my PC at home while 9600 on my desktop PC) and MoBo integrated Realtek Sound Chip. The systems are up-to-date, the drivers are updated via the automatic updates. When I feel his jerky, I reboot the comptuer (s) and its good to happen for a few hours. I have no idea which can be triggered to become again a bit rough sound. Sound is at once during playback of movies using Windows Media Center (on my house cause of PC I don't watch movies at work lol: D), when you listen to music using media player or Winamp. Even when I'm not touching the PC so there's no great animation on the screen. If I turn off improvements in the sound Control Panel Applet, the sound is not so rough but will not solve this problem completely.

    Software that both computers have in common:

    • TeamViewer, Mikogo
    • Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger (rarely signed), Google Talk (still signed to)
    • NCP Secure entry Client (using actively at work, I already uninstall-ed on my PC at home, the sound still jerky)
    • VMWare Server ActiveX control installed through IE (already using actively at work, uninstall-ed at home, always choppy sound)
    • Last.FM, Windows Media Player, Winamp, VLC, Miro
    • Wuala
    • uTorrent
    • Daemon Tools
    • RDTabs
    • Picasa
    • FFDShow
    • 7-zip
    • SmartDefrag
    • Office 2007
    • Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server management tools
    • SpeedFan, HWInfo32

    Suggestions to better diagnose the problem? It's kindda boring.

    Thank you
    Levi

    For those who have this problem and want to see if this resolves for you too: Click on your start ORB, type "services", press on enter, find and restart the "Microsoft Antimalware Service.  Turn on real-time protection if it is always disabled and performed before.  Check your sound, and it should be fixed!

    Vincent,

    I thank very you much for the suggestions!  Finally, some useful tips!

    I used FADS latency Checker and received peaks of 27,000 when he started to be choppy, 50 000 when it was quite rough, and really bad it had reached its maximum about 75 000 - 80, 000.

    When not jump and everything seems fine, as after a restart, the spike is not even go above 500 (if so, rarely and much higher).

    I know that material resources was not my prescription, as I am running out of 8 logical cores of 3 GHz and have 6 GB memory triple channel high speed of at least 50% most of the time.  When the bad audio dropouts are produced, I confirmed this (0-3% cpu usage) and 3 + GB available physical memory, even with my page file off to improve performance.

    While the auditor of latency DCP everything was in the Red (high values), I started through my services running and restarts, one by one.  Then I got to 'Base filtering engine', which has a description of: "the filter Base (BFE) engine is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol (IP, IPsec) security policies and implements user mode filtering. Stopping or disabling the BFE service will significantly reduce the security of the system. It will also result in unpredictable behavior in IPsec management and firewall applications. "I proceeded to try to restart, which pops up a message saying that 3 other services will also have to restart to restart: IPsec Policy Agent, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Malware Protection network pilot.  I clicked 'Yes' to restart all of them, and after a few seconds, windows tells me "Windows could not stop the engine service of filtering based on Local computer.  Error 1051: a stop command was sent to a service that depend on other services running on. "If I click Ok and I look in the STC audit program and my latencies are all still red way and reading too high.  At this point, the windows firewall is disabled, all other 3 services work well.  So I try to restart again, and he succeeds.  Instantly, my auditor DCP is back green and low numbers (<500) and="" all="" audio="" skipping="" has=""> I still don't know what Department it is, because it could be these 3):

    1. the base filtering engine of
    2. IPsec policy agent
    3 Microsoft Malware Protection network driver

    Update:   Now that my sound was turned off again, I have to debug more, but I can't even see the third listed throughout the services, either on or off the coast, but restart the Policy Agent IPsec has nothing.  I restarted Microsoft Antimalware Service since he was the only one that sounded related to #3 above, and that did the trick, DCP levels and without legs instantly fell more.  I always do the same thing every two days or so, or sometimes once a day (depending on how much I use my audio...? maybe?)

    So, does make sense that this service could cause problems?  This means that it is not a driver - correct problem?  If this isn't a Realtek driver problem then it is matter of microsoft and will be fixed - this is their service and software that appear to be the cause of the issue / conflict with the driver.  I guess it could be either a problem, but the realtek and microsoft can fix it if they want to!  It would be nice not having to do now almost every day just to use the sound

    Thanks again Vincent!

  • Tecra 8100: stutters during playback of music

    Hello

    After installing Win2k on my Tecra 8100 each works fine but playback of music.
    When play is a stutter, a clickening every 2 seconds.
    It is a general problem, not a problem of the music program or file that I play (mp3).
    It already starts with the beginning of Win2k jingle.

    Any ideas?

    As far as I know that the device is supported for W2K Professional and if you have used all the drivers designed Toshiba it should not be a problem (if the hardware is not faulty). Please check with a helmet. It will be interesting to see if the problem persists.

    Have you had it with previous operating system? Do you have it tested with a helmet too? Can you please post more than a few sentences? You already did some troubleshooting and what exactly?
