Sound Issues

[Dimmizer]

Hey HWCC,

Well I've gone though pretty much anything I thought it could be and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is. My girlfriend's computer is running Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate and she had XP before this.

The problem shes having with her computer is, her sound just randomly cuts out. She can be listening to music or talking to guild members on Skype or just anything sound related and then her sound just takes a

I've been all though her computer, checked her sound and made sure drivers are up to date and they are. I checked to make sure hardware wasn't conflicting. I disabled her speakers and everything sound related but her headset which is a Razer Megalodon USB Gaming Headset and she used just that for her sound and microphone and it does the same thing she loses her sound. I also unplugged her headset so she JUST had her speakers for sound and thats it, she still lost sound.

Could it be a motherboard issue? USB ports broken or something? I don't get it.

If any help could be given I'd really gladly love it and

Thanks for your time in advanced

Edit: O yeah I might also add when she looses her sound, it's JUST on her end. When our guild is all on Skype and she looses her sound, we can still hear her but she cant hear us and she cant hear her sounds ingame or anything. We never had this problem before when she was using XP as well.

Integrated Sound: Realtek Azalia

You didn't mention the soundcard she was using.

[Dimmizer]

Her sound card is integrated into the motherboard

Realtek Azalia is what she has.


GA-MA69G-S3H (rev. 1.0) - GIGABYTE

thats her motherboard

Make sure your using drivers provided by the motherboard and not windows.

Also check Gigabytes website for updated drivers as well.

Yep done that and still nothing.

best I can think of is trying a cheapo/old sound card, to try and be more certain that it's a hardware issue.. see if someone can loan her one for a night or something, install and use.. see what happens? though the issue does distinctly "sound" (ahahha!) software though, from the fact that it works and then cuts out and works again.

odd!

[enaberif]

Considering speakers or headset does the same thing.

Its either gonna be software or hardware.

Perhaps try a dedicated card?
