As the title suggests, I'm having some issues with XP's Service Pack 3. After installing and updating all my drivers, both my internal and USB soundcard are glitching out!
M-Audio Audiophile + Realtek AC97
My latency checker also suggests there's a problem!
Things I've tried -
IRQ check
reinstalling/updating drivers
installed more ram
virus checks and clean out
turned of unnecessary services
I was wondering if anyone here has had any similar problems that they've managed to resolve.
The prize of a Kawai K4 Keyboard goes to the person that fixes my problem so long as you can pick it up from Manchester ; )

Are you using DirectX/WMD/ASIO/asio4all drivers? Have you tried adjusting the latencies?
You may have a device conflict... Though I think those are extremely rare on XP. If it was me I'd do a fresh install of the OS, update it then reinstall my apps... But I have all my save data on one hard disk and all my system data on another so I can start fresh at a moment's notice. I'd imagine the whole process would take a while for you. problems with m-audio drivers?!?!? *gasp*
if i were you I wouldn't reinstall the os...isn't there a way to downgrade to sp2? you made a restore point and backed up right? a lot of people have been switching to sp3 lately and i can't figure out why. xp is never going to be a secure os and afaik they didn't implement anything NEW in sp3. (like usb 3.0 support) dkarma said: "xp is never going to be a secure os and afaik they didn't implement anything NEW in sp3. (like usb 3.0 support)" SP3 is much more efficient than SP2 or Vista. It is more stable than Vista SP1 from my experience in offices/clients' houses. My copy of XP is circa 2001 or something. I've never been hacked. Not one time. There is no such thing as a 100% secure OS; fÜck the dÜmbshit. let's talk audio business... ╠►The audio card is probably circa 2005-2007 and SP3 is circa .. 2008? so check online for new drivers/fixes/patches. Most of my audio problems were due to one overheating CPU, one DDR memory card gone to $hit, 8 hard drives spun to death. It would help to know if you are using ASIO / DX (DX version 8/9/9c?) or other.... and my vote is on updating all drivers first. Then getting into removing parts and playing doctor... =) I have this game I miss playing. it requires DirectX version 8. I have 9c and it won't work.If your sound card has ASIO, avoid DX like the plague...

lots of people on here have had problems with m-audio drivers + sp3 (me included).
i had to uninstall the newest drivers and find an old install of the m-audio drivers. all went well after that. What software are you using? When does the glitching happen? What do you have your latency set to?
Oh and by the way- I have put SP3 on over 1500 computers in the last month and had no problems.
Thanks for your help, I seem to have helped the glitching problem by reinstalling the internal soundcard after making SP3 think it was SP2 in the registry and then changing it back afterwards.
Latency still seems high though! Signup to comment
