Terrible audio latency problem on XC-105

You need to update chipset drivers too, not only audio drivers.

Please check also CPU usage and HDD usage, this 2 can let audio skip and crackle.

what's your audio player?

Chipset driver update from Acer or from AMD?

I'm using Windows Media player & VLC

Ok I updated the AMD chipset driver from the AMD site, after updating I managed to update the Realtek Audio Driver (also from the Realtek site itself). I never managed to do that, so thank you for that advice!

The audio is working flawless now, but I'm wondering if the skipping/cracking will return after a few days (like it always did after I refreshed the old Realtek driver install)... But for as of this moment: perfect!

You welcome. Smiley Happy

I have read your problem and want you to reply in 5 days about the situation. Can you do that, please?Thanks.

Why 5 days?

Because I want to know if your latency problem is now resolved with the updates you did. For good. Not just for 83 hours.Thanks for your reply!

So far so good, no crackling/skipping at all!

So your updates from the sites(AMD,REALTEK) were the good ones, not the one you did at the site of the manufacturer of your notebbook(ACER)? Thanks for your answers!

Good to hear. Smiley Very Happy

I cheered too soon. The same problem returned 2 days ago, i.e. updating the drivers from the manufucters site didn't solve the problem unfortunately.

I really regret buying an acer desktop, wish I could return this decision Smiley Sad , because it seems like the problem is difficult to solve...

can you try to play the same files with a different player?

try foobar:

You're not alone! I have the same crackling & skipping all the time for 12 months now! And I buy a new one notebook 2 weeks ago, and it is the same with this one when I stream music or movies from the net...I think we're not rich enough for the best quality...and not only for the pc's but also for the web access...I fear that apple has a lot of problem too. If, by chance, you find a solution: please, let me know! Happy new year!

I think this is a problem with STREAMING. Isn't it, Mister Terrible audio latency? I forgot your pseudo, excuse me.

Mister terrible audio latency Smiley Very Happy I lolled Smiley Wink

Too bad to hear that your new one has the same issues, but do you really think Apple products suffer from the same problem? I always was convinced Apple didn't have this problem...

I'm gonna try the foobar player though, but my hopes aren't high to be honest...

I don't REALLY think that... for apple. But why try foobar if your audio problem is related to STREAMING?
