Hello, I don't know if this is the right section for this topic but I don't see how it could fit somewhere else. I tried doing some research first but did not find anything (Unless I'm doing it wrong )

Lately I've been hearing choppiness when hearing music, almost like it skips some miliseconds of the songs... at first I thought it happened randomly... but now I've made a discovery, it happens while I type.

I've tried two sound cards, so I'm positive it's not the sound card, I don't know if it could be the keyboard itself generating some conflict, I have not tried with another keyboard and this one was not causing any trouble before.

As of now I'm using the onboard audio (nVIDIA nForce), I also have a sound blaster live value.




Thanks for your help and ideas

I had a problem exactly like this too, and I found that the problem is the PS/2 port(s).

Unless you switch to a USB keyboard + mouse, you have to tamper with the RAM speed settings in the BIOS. Rather risky, and I'm not sure if it actually works as I haven't tried it. I bought a USB keyboard and now everything works fine...

You didn't happen to install your System with APIC enabled, did you ... ?

nForce 2 mainboards are known for that issue ...

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm using a USB keyboard now and evruthing is fine, however I will also look into APIC, thank you both!!

In BIOS set typematic rates to "auto" or default ones and the problem will stop, I used to have the same problem and it was only because I set my typematic rate at the fastest (so it was faster to browse in bios but wasn't worth the bug!)
