    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    That's an interesting article. I'm going to try an see if I can figure out how to increase the audio buffer. Doesn't seem like there's a direct setting for it in Win7. If anyone knows I'd appreciate the help.

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    Well I couldn't figure out a fix for this so I went out and got a new video card. Got a Sapphire HD7850 1GB. The problem is definitely a lot better but is still happening occasionally. Anyone have a suggestion? I'd really appreciate it. If it was an interrupt conflict issue I'm still not...

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    Thank you for your reply. I checked the ASUS BIOS and there is no setting for APIC anywhere. I'm not too well versed in IRQ stuff, but as far as I can tell in Device Manager there are no IRQ conflicts. There is no IRQ listing for the USB Audio or MM1. There is a setting for the video card...

    USB Audio pops after increasing monitor resolution

    I just upgraded my monitor from a 23" 1680x1050 to a 27" Dell U2711 2560x1440. Ever since that I'm getting frequent audio pops/skips via my USB B&W MM1 speakers when listening to music. I've updated the usb controller drivers to the most recent Intel ones. Windows says my USB Audio drivers...

    Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray (w/digital copy) $15+tax shipped @ Walmart.com

    Just got an email from Walmart saying my order was cancelled due to insufficient stock. What BS. If you want to cancel the order for a pricing mistake just say so. Don't say it's insufficient stock when you're still selling the item, just at a higher price.

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    Right now I'm looking at getting a 9400GT for $30 or a GT220 for $50. If all I want to do is be able to run Windows 7 better and have improved video playback are these decent choices? Is there something else for around the same amount that would also give better performance?

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    My main reason for upgrading is according to the Windows Upgrade Advisor, Aero won't work well with my card. Other than that the only benefit I'd want to get out of a new card would be one with better integrated video playback.

    Is a 9400GT an upgrade from a 7900GS?

    I'm upgrading to Windows 7 and the upgrade advisor says my 7900GS won't work well with Windows 7. I wanted to get a new, inexpensive video card that would work better with Windows 7. Would a 9400GT be a step up or down from a 7900GS? Based on the specs it seems like it might be a step down...
