[gui-talk] windows 7 loss of sound

[Christo de Klerk]

I also had the loss of sound issue from the very start after installing
Windows 7. With each update I was hoping it would go away, but it hasn't.

Could a factor possibly be that there might be a difference between a clean
install of Windows 7 and an upgrade from another version? A friend of mine
is not experiencing the problem and he did a clean install. I went a
circuitous route, upgrading from XP to Vista and then from Vista to 7.


This thing is so random that occasionally it happens twice on a day; at
other times, like now, my PC can be on for days without it happening.
Unfortunately it has never happend when there was a pair of working eyes at
hand so that could investigate further. At times I thought it happened some
time after I had used FileZilla; at other times I thought maybe it happened
because Skype Talking was running. But I really have not been able to
pinpoint it or predict or avoid it. I wish it were possible to determine
some common factor on those systems which experience the problem. I just
know that I have only encountered this under Windows 7.

Kind regards

Christo

Doesn't that presume that sound/video drivers have been updated in the last
year? I bought this machine about a year ago and it had this problem from
the get-go, at least with screen-readers installed (it happened both with
JAWS 12 and NVDA). Of course, I was running Kaspersky antivirus then and
have since switched to Vipre Internet Security which doesn't seem to gum up
the works as much although I'm doing an experiment today that involves
disabling of the "anti-pishing" filter and that seems to make quite a
difference in making the system more responsive with Outlook 2010 although
I'm not prepared to say the problem is solved yet.

I think we need to focus on video drivers which include sound drivers.
I have a box with 8gb of memory and it's happening, so would not think its
memory related.
 
I have not had time to do this, but check the version of your video/sound
drivers, see if you can roll back a version, and see if things improve or
not.  If they improve we might have a winner.
