Search for a program named "LatencyMon". Start its recording and then go and provoke that sound issue. If its main view shows that there was terrible latency for your system, click on the driver tab to see if there's a driver that causes this.
Window Update might have installed something yesterday. You can research that somewhere in the Control Panel. It's possible to uninstall the updates.

I fiddled with playback options. I think i switched defaults etc. Nothing major - and restarted PC. I haven't heard it for many hours after this. I will report back if it starts again with data with LatencyMon. (Yeah other people with similiar soundproblem had latency issues)
|
It came back again. Latencymon says:
Highest reported ISR routine execution time : 266,542296 (dxgkrnl.sys - directX graphix kernel) Highest reported DPC routine execution time : 1136,317523. (NETIO.SYS - network I O Subsystem) Highest reported hard pagefault resolution time : 518088,29904
I have mumble, TS and skype open same time. May it be the cause? It started relatively soon after I opened TS as 3rd com. Shutting all of them down didin't fix it at least after it occurred.
I don't really understand what it's trying to say. :/ Other than driver downloads.

Click on the "driver" tab of the program and see what's going on over there.

I was ok for 5m. Disabled wlan adapter thing.
e: http://puu.sh/ajLp5/ba15961a41.png It seems i got some latency again, not as bad and no sound glitch yet. There's what I see in drivers tab. NDIS.sys being all the driver with most execution time. e2: Someone had success after uninstalling SP1. Is it safe to do that when it has security updates (assuming I have it, since I dont see it in programs)? e3: There is 98 explorer hard pagefaults, 109 searchindex.exe hard pagefaults and 104 firefox hard pagefaults
I was 15m at 649us and after I put stream on fullscreen it jumped to 1561us. Soona fter I simply swapped browser windows and it spiked 9017us

w7 service pack 1 is pretty neccesary, some updates and it enables a few CPU instruction sets etc. I'm not sure what else
|
suddenly ataport.sys took lead http://puu.sh/ajT9V/2963b6b760.png should I uninstall ata/atapi controllers and restart computer? If I let my pc run 1-2 days I assume at that point of time I'm getting audio pops already. Maybe I'll get different DPC results then too. I have no idea what latency normally should be and how much at spikes. I already removed couple of softwares and torrent software. I have 0-4% idle CPU usage when only listening music and letting my programs just sit there.
e: wow now dxgkrnl.sys is at top with 0,25ms...execution Well no sound pops yet.
|
That file is something from Microsoft. That typically means it's not at fault. The number is also not high enough to cause audio issues (though no idea really).
|
I had same problem for a while... turns out just that my sound card was dying. Installed a cheap pcie sound card solved my problem. Not sure if it's your problem, but you can try find an ext sound card and see if that solves it.

Reinstalled ATA/ATAPI controllers. Didn't fix.
I also ran autoinst from that file and didn't fix. (still well 1-2k latency spikes and I assume soon it will regularly get over 15k and that means sound popping.) Windows said before installment that the driver is up to date anyway.
Can I disable nvidia drivers here? Are they needed for anything if I already have realtek?
I will now try disabling "allow the pc to turn off device" in device properties usb.
e:I have easy time reproducing high latency with opening video game. Tried with wow, The Ship, Brother and all of them caused 2k or 4k latency spike. Played 30m CS:GO and had 14k latency max. No sound popping I think but I dropped some frames. I'm not 100% sure if it's because of this latency problem but I've never had any framedrops before really.
e2: uninstalled avast and installed MSE. Didn't fix.
e3: After using look for updates automatically and running autoinst.exe from the link, I still have driver version 6.0... that is from 2010. It looks like I don't know how to install newest driver for realtek..

You can get those NVIDIA drivers to go away in the Control Panel where you uninstall programs. They do have a separate entry in there. These NVIDIA audio drivers are for audio output over HDMI to a monitor's or TV's speakers. If you don't use that, you don't need them.
About the network controller drivers, Realtek don't have older drivers on their website, but this URL here is where their website downloaded stuff for me and that shows a whole bunch of files: ftp://209.222.7.36/cn/nic/
The Win7 drivers are probably the ones named "Install_Windows7_xxxx_xxxxxxxx.zip".
It could be that when your problem started on July 18, that's when Microsoft got the latest driver version into Windows Update and then your machine installed them by itself? You can find a list of what happened if you type "view installed updates" into the Start menu, but I don't know if that also shows driver stuff or if that's somewhere else.
EDIT: It now shows a password prompt for me, so doesn't work apparently. I got the URL after downloading the driver file in Firefox, then right-click -> "copy download link" on the download, then paste that into the location bar and cutting off the end with the file name. That's what you have to do yourself if you want to try an older driver.
EDIT2: This URL might work: ftp://WebUser:AxPL9s3k@209.222.7.36/cn/nic/

You're looking at the audio drivers in your screenshot. Your board has several chips from Realtek. You have a Realtek audio controller chip, and you have a Realtek network controller chip. That ndis.sys file with the high latency is some Microsoft network stuff. This is why the Realtek network driver being involved makes sense.

I assume I still have very old driver from 2010 after opening Realtek High Definition Audio Properties. Windows can't find any updates automatically. I've looked twice for drivers in realtek site but that site isn't very friendly for me. I can't really see any driver section - only some audio codecs and I don't know if those are what I'm looking for.
E: After uninstalling avast! my ndis.sys is only 0.10... after a 15k latency spike. ataport.SYS clearly topping the charts.

I meant you should also look at the Realtek network device, not the audio device. They are two totally different devices with different drivers.

You meant this from network adapters? I'm not really sure which rar I should download from all of those. ndis.sys still only 0,19 max now. Still 5.5k spike with that.

Can you take a look at that "view installed updates" screen somewhere in the control panel? You can sort if by date and that look if something happened on July 17 or July 18 or so.

Nearest one is 10.7 update for microsoft windows execution values are throwing . now ataport is low and usbport high.. I went through every device in device manager and searched for updates.

I get you but a cheap sound card is like 10 bucks online. Though it would be great if you can find a friend who can loan you one just to etst it out
