Fixing Ticking During Audio Playback on Lenovo Thinkpad W500
Posted by: admin In: Lenovo Laptops
There is a bug found at Lenovo W500 4058-CTO which running x64 Vista
Ultra by using latest 5th Jan drivers. One who’s experience in this
problem said that he’s got random clicking/popping noises during WMP11
MP3 audio playback on speakers/headphones. Whereas Bluetooth AD2P
headset has no issues, so mp3 and WMP is fine.
It might the Lenovo W500 4058-CTO driver before Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M
SATA AHCI Controller version 8.8.0.1009 update possibly the caused.
Seems like it must have been so inefficient and stalling the system
for large periods of time. So to resolve these random clicking/popping
noises on W500 4058-CTO speakers/headphones, the first thing you can
try is updating Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller to version
8.8.0.1009.
This update version will solved:
- Audio popping and clicking when using internal soundcard
- Bluetooth mouse freezing and stalling
- Make the EMU 0404 USB soundcard works. He said, previously it only
work with ASIO latency of more than 300ms which is not useable now it
is operational at 5ms.
That’s better that all Lenovo W500 4058-CTO users update their driver
to Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller version 8.8.0.1009 that can
get a release on the Lenovo’s website.
