my specs are:
i7 920 @4.01ghz
6gb ram
gigabyte ga-x58-ud3r
1tb western digital 64mb hdd
samsung blu ray drive
hd 5850
edirol ua 25

after a few mins of audio usage, be it a game, music or a film, the audio starts to break up as if its lagging but it doesnt slow my pc down... it just is as if someones turning it on and off constantly. any ideas?! ive formatted my pc, updated all the drivers, the ua 25 asio driver is set to stable, not performance. i have no idea what to do!

help would be apreciated!
 
The sound works fine for about 10 mins, then it breaks up, but doesnt actually fall behind, it just cuts out every 1/2 a second or so. and i do have a wifi PCI card so that may cause it?
 
Well if someone else had that same problem, and it was their wi-fi card, then it's a possibility. Only way to rule it out, is to remove it and try playing a game/film, or listen to music, see what happens.

I have just tried it, and ive not heard any problems, but then it did happen at completely random times. I'll leave the wireless PCI card out for the mo and see how we go.
Thanks
 
I'm having a simlar problem with ud3r on board audio.

Crackling and poping starts occuring during audio from games or music sometimes and happens for 5-10 mins then goes away. Just seems to come and go randomly.

I've been reseaching about the cause and so far other people have been saying to use a utility called DPC latency checker. Run it when the audio is going wrong and see if the graph spikes red constantly.

When you run it when everything working ok DPC latency should be very low like around 100us.

It goes to like 26000us during the times when the audio brakes up for me.

Still trying to find out how to fix it, its very annoying.

So far its sounds like a bios update has cured it for some people, but I'm very unsure about performing a bios update right now, as i'm afraid it will go wrong.

Also because I bought the ultima dreadnought pc, I am afraid if i update the bios that ocuk won't support my overclock anymore, I think I read somewhere if i update bios they won't or something. I'm not sure, maybe someone can shead some light on that.

lovely, thanks for that, i'll do some research and let you know. And i agree about not wanting to update the bios as i bought an overclocked package too.
