sound pauses when I type

Goslings — Sun, 15 Jan 2006 20:05:02 GMT

Hi
we have a PCV-RZ221 (bought Sep 2003)
We have realplayer and windows player installed (sorry sonic stage does not support my pocket PC)
When we listen to music on a CD or directly on the system through any of the above, and you type on the keyboard (web address in explorer) the music slows down or begins to pause very badly
Anyone know how to solve this ??:smileycry:

Hi goslings and welcome to Club Vaio.

I don’t wish to seem alarmist, but key loggers and other Ad/spyware on your system can exhibit this symptom. Have you scanned your system for malware recently?

spybot reports nothing as does Norton Anti-virus
All are uptodate and give clean bill of health

By the way its not the sound only that pauses but the CPU % rises to 100 %

If it is the Indexing Service (Cisvc.exe) that increases to 100 percent CPU then there is a hotfix available on Vaio-Link - Windows XP Hotfix KB833228.

Vaio-Link.

Is Winamp running?
Is it when you press P?
Sounds like you might have Winamp on "always on top" mode

sorry ... been out all day
same here I do not have winamp running either and for me pauses when i press any key
if i repeatedly press any key I can get the audi to slow down to a snails pace, once I stop its is back to normal.

Also tried watching a BBC 10oclock stream, and while typing this same problem.
Really, really anoying
Any "Sony" technical person any ideas ?

Keep Task manager open with the processes tab, then type while audio is on, which process rushes to 100%?

System Idle Process increases to +- 50%, but avery app, that used the Cpu power is also increasing,

I fount this tread  this 
I dont really understand it because my computerknoledge is 10 out of 100, and Im not english, but like the tread says, im gonna defrag

The last post on your link made a lot of sense too. If you have the option to increase the buffer for playback- Try that.

Again I've been out all day - sorry
for me it is not so obvious , nothing really jumps up to 100
system idle is about the highest peaking around 65% when keys are pressed. With realplayer playing system idle is 93%

looks like i'm online when you guys are not. I maybe around tomorrow .

A high system idle % is not a problem.
Have you checked Event Viewer logs for any relevant error messages especially any that refer to paging?
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.

Might be a good idea to run Adaware and Spybot too
