errors in sound when typing

breadfan · May 1, 2003, 08:33 PM

when i type really fast or just hold down a letter for typing i get what seem to be random clicks and pops and such in the sound. This happened with the creative drivers, but it was much more frequent and sounded much worse with them. Any idea what this could be?

are you using a generic keyboard or USB/Radio/Cordless etc..?

I use a wired microsoft multimedia keyboard version 1.0a

I doubt I see any logical explanation at the moment

I suggest you post the same question to Creative forum -- just for fun

I have the same annoying problem!!! Just try this: hold down Shift and start moving your mouse around the screen. Not only the sound will crackle, but mouse motion will lag as well! My configuration:

ASUS A7N8X
Athlon XP (Barton) 2500+
1 GB RAM @ 400 MHz
SB Live! with latest kx drivers
Windows XP Professional + SP1 (I had the same problem under Windows 2000)

your keyboard is connected via usb, isn't it?
if yes, there's probably a PCI IRQ conflict -- try connecting the keyboard via regular ps/2 connector

No, it's on a ps/2 port, and the problem seems to be ocassional. Reboot solves the problem but it can occur again at any time. Weird...

i had that too. i put my ps2 to usb and it works!?!? even though it should make it worse since its usb which is normally a problem

A little late post, but what the heck.

I had the exakt same problem. I did use to have a USB keyboard and had no problems with the sound back then. Then I spilled some coffee over it and it didn't work, so I had to use my super old DIN plug keyboard. (I did find the DIN > PS2 konverter

) Anyway...ever since the problems with sound have occured.
And I tried holding down a button when playing music at the same time and it popped and clicked like insane.
I switched PCI a few time and it seems that PCI slot 2 is the slot where the clicks and pops occur least. It's still there, although not very often and not as loud and annoying as before.

hmmâ€¦ i'm not sure what the explanation for this can beâ€¦ it's possible that wireless keyboards may cause EMI, but as for wired keyboardsâ€¦ i remember seeing something about a reason for this, mayb a search of the forum would helpâ€¦ the audio technical forum on DH may have somethingâ€¦

As I see, we all have the same problem, and the same chipset, the NForce2... maybe the problem are not the KX or the SB Live, but the Nforce....
