Hi,

I hope someone could help me... I'm having an issue with sound. I can hear lag in sound, not sure how I can explain.

You know when you get BSOD and you hear that annoying DRRRR sound? I'm sort of hearing that when I listen to music or play a game. It's not constant and happens only sometimes, followed by some FPS lag. What is it? I've been checking my task manager but it doesn't show anything on 100%, mostly 60% (like RAM).

It can't be speakers, I just bought a new set. (Obviously not the best, but better than my older ones. Logitech LS21 2.1 Stereo Speaker System)

No, I don't have a sound card. Could it be my motherboards issue? It's pretty old. EP45-DS3P.
 
Could be external interference (EMI), but before to start digging in this messy area...

Any chance that you can borrow a dedicated sound card, even a super cheap one, from somebody, disable the on-board one in the mobo via BIOS, plug it in (Uninstall first old drivers completely and install new ones for the dedicated sound card) and check again?

you have c1 or c1e in power saving in the bios?

try turning that off and see if noise lessens or goes away,use balanced profile in win7/8 and cpu will still enter power saving mode
 
Did you try to uninstall old audio drivers for the mobo and install updated ones?

It happens when you are close to max volume or also when it's close to min-mid range volume?
 
Seems unistalling this sound enhancing program DFX and installing newer drivers worked on the BSOD sound, but whenever I adjust the sound I still get this short... "tsh" everytime it goes up and down (like... 1 to 5 = tsh 5 to 20 = tsh tsh, it's hard to explain sound...).. Is it normal?
