I’m looking for an inexpensive $30 or less Internal Sound Card that has it’s own internal processor. I need a separate Sound Card because using my onboard Nvidia sound drains my system resources. When I am doing a lot of multitasking, using photoshop and Windows Media Player at the same time for example, my CPU gets bogged down and the music skips.
I was doing some research and the Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE from a review I read does not have internal sound processor.
I was also looking at an Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card.
I need to make a decision because I just can’t take Music skipping when I am using Photoshop!
any suggestions? I don’t really need it for gaming or movies for surround sound. Pretty much just for music.
I’m having this problem for a while now, and it’s pissing me off. It mostly happens when I’m working with Photoshop (7.0). I always refrain from using the bucket tool, because then my PC will shut down immediately. Is it because I have too many programs open at the same time? My friend advised me to get a new processor. A dual-core if possible, because I do a lot of high-resolution digital painting. My computer somehow can’t handle it.
Is there a way of stopping this, without getting a new processor??
OS: Vista Home Basic, 32-bit
RAM: 1023 MB
Virtual Memory: 1322 MB
Anything else?
I ordered an HP Pavillion. It turned on. Windows updated. It restarted. Then it never came back on. I called tech support and they tried to help for 2 hours. Nothing worked. I sent it back. I ordered a new one. It’s been about 6 weeks, all was well.
For the past 3 days, it has been freezing out of the blue about 4 times per day. This requires me turn off the computer.
It also has trouble opening multiple programs lately. I had firefox open. I tried to open photoshop. It wouldn’t let me, claiming that I had insufficient resources. I have 4GB of RAM…
My internet browsers often freeze out of the blue and close.
I called tech support. They had the nerve to tell me to call the software companies. Then they said to reformat my computer. They have already wasted sooo much of my time. I use this computer for work and it’s really costing me because I can’t perform certain tasks.
