    Hi All,

    I've had the 3820TG (i5 460m, 5470, 4g, 500g) for a few days and everything is perfect except for a little bug that really starts to annoy me. Here is a description of the problem:

    When I plaedy video games or online videos from Youtube, I experienced random audio skippings. It's like a bad track on a CD. The audio will buzz for like half a second. The pause might be too long to call a "freeze". But again it's extremely annoying.

    First I thought it's the WD HDD issue that a lot of users have reported. So I got quite HDD and turned APM off and set AMM to fastest. But the problem continued to happen. I tried CrystalDiskInfo to control APM/AMM and it did not help.

    I wonder if other people have the same problem. And I wonder if it is just an audio issue, or could it be a HDD issue?

    Any feedback would be of much more help than what I got from the tech support of Acer, who said he never heard about this issue.

    PS: If administrator thinks this thread suits the "3820tg user lounge" thread better, then please delete it.
