As the title says, the audio coming from an application will stutter in a very short loop. It only happens when I get the CTD message saying "... has encountered an error blah blah blah". Only recent changes I've made to my system are a new case, no software changes. I have an ASUS Xonar DX sound card and I'm using a home theater system for the speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm getting sick of rebooting my PC every time a game crashes on me (namely Hearts of Iron III) to stop that annoying sound
This is an issue with the horrible stock drivers for the Xonar cards. I used to get it when Oblivion would crash (because of the Xonar EAX emulation thing). Switching to brainbit's unified Xonar drivers fixed the issue for me. They're generally better than the stock drivers in every other way, too. http://brainbit.wordpress.com/2010/07/19/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/
I'll give them a whirl, thanks Edit; Them drivers seemed to have fixed the game crash too It doesn't crash on load anymore Thanks
Anyone any idea if you can restart the unified drivers easily somehow i have same problem as op but when crashed is caused by other issues.
