Hello guys
I been having games stutter and audio also when the frame rate drops. This been happening for while now I have installed and uninstalled every driver etc till I found out whats been the issue and I have now found it, its the Intel smart response that allows me to setup Raid 0 and link my SSD and hard drive together.

I have had this disabled for a day to fully test and I not had a single stutter or audio skip, so I tried other drivers from ver:10.8.0.1003 to 12.0.0.1083 and I still get the issue.

So I now stuck I really want to use the caching as it gives me 500mb/s read/write in return speeds up my system super fast, but this audio skipping is also spoiling games :( Is they anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks

either it's an error with the driver itself, which in that case not a lot, or a conflict with something else installed, try disabling the audio driver, / updating it or updating the inf intel drivers as well, down grading it and see if same error happens, last resort put in a old card if your using onboard, which will htne have different drivers and see if that works, i know it's a long shot but i have boxes with all old bits in, just hope you do to, or try a friend with a card, just to try

The audio skip happens on both USB headset and sound card. I have tried every driver there is lol I even using non released chipset and intel SRT drivers atm in hope that would fix it but still the same.

I forgot to say, when I first notice the problem I was using Windows 8, so I went back to Windows 7 and careful installed drivers till I found out it was the SRT.
I even updated the BIOS and I now thinking its either my SSD or the Intel SRT on my setup dont like each other.

So what I might try come the weekend is install Windows 8 again onto the 60GB SSD and add one game and test for a day.
Thats the problem here also the Frame drop and stutter happens randomly so I need to test longer with changes I make :mad:

both good drives, should work fine without raid, i've never raided mine, got 2 256 adata pro's and then a 3tb hdd which is cached of my sdd's, plenty quick enough for everything i play, cheaper as well :)

raid great when it works, pain in the bum when it goes down and you loose everything

o/s a few apps on first sdd, the all games on second sdd, with hdd used for storage only, older games etc

Thanks for your tips.

For a faster test to rule out SSD, if I was to format the SSD now so windows see's it and copy a game over to it and test.
Or I get time later i'll just install Windows tonight onto it.

Is they anything different I should know about when installing to an SSD other that a hard drive?
I take its just the same?

Thanks again

hope some of it helps, and your welcome

i don't even use Rapid Storage Technology on my adata drives, as for me they slow down the boot for me and also bench marked slower with it enabled, so i disabled and uninstalled it.

they are like rockets so leave them how they came, haven't even checked for updates as yet, scared of making them worse as happy as they are

Will post back my findings. I might upgrade to a bigger SSD if things turn out good here.
