Lol, been playing too much Street Fighter have you?

DSP on a dedicated thread can cause issues like this, does this still occur when it's turned off?
Also does the audio screw up when you've done something specific or does it happen after long time play?

What is your framelimit set to? (Config -> General)

It also happens on 3.0 stable too. I'm going to try with dedicated thread off to see if it still occurs. It almost always happens right on the 1:30 mark, take or add a couple minutes, with even idle gameplay, so no specific event causes it.
Okay, it still occurs with dsp on thread off, seems like there's no way to fix it.

Oh hey, this happens to me when I play Billy Hatcher for about an hour and a hafl. I am on HLE Dsound, if that makes a difference.

You honestly couldn't spell my name right"? You can copy and paste it.

Sigh. To answer your question, I generally do not use it because it causes crashes in alot of games.

Do you think installing Windows 8 would solve this problem? I see that none of the windows 8 users have this static issue.

I am not sure. I have tried Win 7 64 bit and 32 bit. One other user was using Linux, so I doubt installing Win 8 would work.

Do you think this is an issue that only affects nahalem and sandy bridge based core i5/i7 CPUs? I don't see any ivy bridge or AMD user having this issue.

I have sandy bridge and don't experience the problem.

I have SB and I used to get this problem noticeably. Now I only hear slight static for a minute or two, then it's completely gone and doesn't come back. I noticed that holding tab for a bit corrects the audio for a bit until the static disappears altogether.

so when the static starts you hold the tab key down until it disappears? That sounds promising. What does the tab key do?
