| Vista Ultimate x64 | Games Seem to Kill My Audio in Vista x64 Hello, I am running into a problem with my sound when playing games. For some reason my sound stops working completely after starting a game. It happens in games like COD4, L4D, TF2, and so on. Even when I close the game, I get no sound on anything. It is as if the audio service stops completely. I am using Vista Ultimate x64 on a Intel i5 750 with a Radeon 4890 XXX 1 gig card. My audio card is an onboard Realtek HD. My mobo is an Intel DP55WB. I only notice it when I play games, and the timing varies. Last night I played L4D for 10 minutes before it happened, and today it happened 10 seconds into COD4. It feels as if it is an intermittent conflict between something. I tried reinstalling new drivers, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know what to look for in a case like this? Thanks a bunch! |

| Vista 32 win 7 7600 32 bit | Re: Games Seem to Kill My Audio in Vista x64 BC could you fill in your system specs (lower left corner of your posts) so we know all of the hardware you have. I know its 64bit, but things like ram, wireless usb keyboads, mice, bluetooth all are things that can make chipsets burp thanks ken |

| Vista Ultimate x64 | Re: Games Seem to Kill My Audio in Vista x64 Well, I just played for about 15 minutes without a problem, and then it happened at 2:59. I closed the game, and went to the Event Viewer and didn't see anything. However, there is the occasional WMI error (if that means anything to you in this case) that says: Quote: Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected. |
