Choppy gameplay due to integrated sound card?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I have the following problems when playing games:

At certain points the screen freezes and the last sound heard repeats. This lasts for a few seconds and happens frequently throughout the game.

If this is being caused by the integrated sound card i obviously need a new one simply to stop the problem and not to make the sound fantastic. I need the cheapest one that will work and consume the least amount of power possible. I am just interested in getting the games to play flawlessly.

You could go on ebay and or newegg.com and get a low profile PCI sound card... A cheap one would fix your problem because the onboard is really really junky.

Anything is better than onboard.

actually, what video card do you have? I used to have that problem while playing some higher end games on an fx5200.

I have a geforce 7800 gt on a 350 wat pc. How much power does one usually take?

hmmm thats a little low for that video card, and that could be a reason why. From what i read, a recommended wattage is 450.

at newegg they said the recommended is 480w. but yah u need a better PSU. get at least 500w or higher
