Sound laggs

hi everybody this is my firs post so i hope ill do it ok...
i have a fl90 with 2 gig ram vista64 core2duo @1,8 and a geforce 8600M gt
when i just listen to music my sound works fine, but when i watch movies or play games with my cmedia cm112 headset sometimes the sound laggs. its hard to describe, the sound just stops suddenly and sometimes everything goes faster (music starts going crazy now -.- ).
ive looked for driver updates but i cant seem to find any working ones.
HELP!! do you have any advice? any ideas? please post.
thx

Try uninstalling the drivers and just using Windows' built-in audio driver. It'll probably work fine with that.

Another possibility is that the problem could be that the USB bus is full... this is a USB device, right?... if you're using an external hard drive or some other high-bandwidth USB device at the same time as the sound device, it could be clogging the USB bus.

 

ah thanks! yes im actually using an external harddrive. ill unplugg it and try again. id like to keep the drivers because i really like the fake "surround sound" which sounds way better than just the normal sound.
do you have any other ideas for drivers i could run the headphones with that have the surround thing?

 

You can do Virtual Surround sound using the Vista built-in drivers. (Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Sound > (device) > Propertes > Enhancements)

If you have the problem again, just try it. As long as you have the existing drivers you can always reinstall them. Should only take a few minutes to reinstall them if you need to.

 

it works fine now with just the vista drivers....but the "master volume" doesnt affect any programms/games anymore. when i change the volume (buttons on the headset or klick on the soundsymbol in the task bar) nothing happens. i have to change the volumes in the application and that sucks *...
