Sound breaking in Windows 8 - Windows 8

Hi everyone,

I have a small problem about my windows 8 which has been installed on my pc last week and enjoyed it so far except for the sound breaking. whenever i am listening to music or watching movie while some process is running behind, my music sometimes breaks on several seconds.
It dont stop, it just breaks.

The same thing happens when i am palying games, listening music and watching movies...
does anyone know what could be causing this? with limited knowledge, ireally don't know what to do next.

many thanks in advance.

Hi sunyekerry,

This is very likely, as you note, a driver problem. Start by installing the latest DirectX package from Microsoft and rebooting.

In device manager, find the sound card and then click UNINSTALL HARDWARE or REMOVE HARDWARE. Go into ADD REMOVE PROGRAMS and remove all sound drivers and software you see. REBOOT. The system will now find the "new" sound card and do a new install. Try giving it the latest drivers you can find first.
