Hi guys, I need help, I have been experiencing audio problem sinced I have upgraded to Windows 7. Sometimes, there is no sound when I play movies in media player or when I play youtube videos over the net. But sometimes, it works. And the port working for the headphones are only on the back side of my CPU, while the port on the front which is more accessible for me is not working, well it does work but the the sound is not clear and there are jitters. Please help me, my soundcard i guess is built in my motherboard (AMD Athlon). Thank you very much in advance!

Do you have enough requirements for Windows 7? If not, the jitters was come from slow computer itself. When it thinks to much the system will have lag. Windows 7 required at least 1 Gb of RAM and 1 GHz minimum processor. The other thing is that do you have right driver?

I have a 2gb RAM DDR3 and 2.6GHz processor. I really think this is because of windows 7 full of bugs. I have searched over the internet and found cases similar to mine.

I am also thinking the same thing, maybe its my processor that is having trouble with my OS. I am now using my laptop, windows 7, processor is Intel Pentium U5400, and the sound is perfect.

I wonder that AMD platform has some incompatibility issue with Windows 7? I worked on Intel platform on my workplace and the sound work perfectly.

I have tried the device manager and when i try to update my drivers, it says that my driver has already the latest update. I am using a VIA High Definition Audio driver. I really hope that I can fix this so I would not have to buy an extra sound card.

Hi bhonti, Try using other speaker of headset. Sometimes its is the wire that connects them to the mainboard that gets frayed or has cuts on the inside. I have the same problem a while ago and I attributed the problem to a frayed wire on the audio jack. If the problem persists, then you have a mainboard sound problem, upgrade the driver, or use a third party audio card.

I have tried different headset and even tried headphones. They all worked when inserted at the back port, but did not worked when inserted in the from port of the cpu. Buying the audio card is i think my last option, I just hope I dont need to buy one, because my audio worked fine before I reformatted my PC.

Dear Bhonti as to your problem i think your front side audio jack have problem your sound card is fine so try to use the back audio jack or arrange if possible to replace the front audio jack.
