Strange lag when playing music on the 2760p.

Hi Everyone,

I've noticed something strange on the 2760p that I have:
Regardless of whether it is playing videos on Youtube or playing audio tracks, the laptop has a tendency to regularly "lag" or jerk when playing music.

I have updated the audio drivers to the latest IDT version available on HP's website and have also tinkered with both the settings in Windows 7 for sound and IDT's settings as well but to no avail.

It feels as if megatron or some robot is trying to communicate via the jerks / lags when playing music.

Has anyone experienced this?


Regards,
Ebenezer

 

Alright, after surfing to try and find out the cause of the stuttering audio, the issue has been resolved:

- Not using the latest HP Power Assistant.

This is documented in the following 4 links:

As mentioned in one of the links above, HP Power Assistant 2.0.5.1. is OK. 2.1.0.6. is currently having issues.

Perhaps this could be "stickied" if it benefits other 2760p users...?
