barnett25 Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 I have everything working pretty well (except I dont have QE or CI), but I am having an audio problem. My sound (built in 7.1 AC97 in ASUS K8N Mobo) works most of the time, but sometimes when I open a new audio source like a quicktime movie or another song in iTunes the audio just quits working. If I close and re-open anything playing audio it will sometimes work again. Sometimes I can just click on another song, then back to the first one to make it work. I usually just have to keep closing and opening things until something plays sound, then everything will work. Sometimes I have to reboot. This doesn't happen all the time, just often enough to be annoying. Has anyone else had a problem like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berfsicle Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I started having this exact problem tonight. It can't seem to replicate any situation that causes or remedies it, it just happens randomly. I hope somebody out there has a solution!! Unlike with the original post above, mine happens often enough that now sound is not working more often than its working. Just when I thought this was all working perfectly (although without QE/CI just like above) I have the A8N SLI-Deluxe motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is about as often as yours, but I reboot often which seems to reset it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berfsicle Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 hey freakin shot in the dark, but are you using a ps/2 keyboard? granted this problem didnt start as soon as i started using a ps/2 keyboard, but ever since i put the usb one back on i havent had a problem... granted this was 5 minutes ago so it may be the placebo effect, but i'll keep testing and maybe you'll wanna give it a try good luck edit: seems to make quite a difference in the frequency of the problem, but its not perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnett25 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 scratch all that, its just as bad as it was are we the only 2 that have this problem? i cant believe that! I don't have anything ps/2 plugged in. It is a really odd problem. If a video doesnt play sound I can usually skip ahead several times and it will start playing sound. Sometimes this doesnt work though and I have to reboot. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berfsicle Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 i've started using osx almost exclusively and this is really becoming a deal-breaker... im considering buying a cheap soundcard that's compatible (namely that one usb sound card thats like 15 bucks on newegg) and just going from there with the ac97 disabled but i dont want it to come to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
