    Cool S4 on PC - AUDIO DROPOUT FIX

    Hi,

    I was experiencing major regular audio dropouts when i connected and tried to use my S4, I was extremely dissapointed, and even went "almost" as far as thinking about buying a mac! LOL... anyway, I fixed the problem (for me anyway) I have an HP Pavilion DV6 with intel i7, running windows 7 64bit.

    What i did is take out the battery and run my computer straight off power while im using the S4, if you still get dropouts after this, try a different USB port, and increase buffer size (latency)... Worked for me, No dropouts, No crackles... Goodluck!

    I've got the same lappy as you....

    Do you also disable all the other crap as recommended such as the network adapter/webcam/ACPI etc or is removing the battery totally cleared your crackles...?

    which USB port are you using...?

    what have you done to yours and what Anti virus are you running...?

    cheers
