AMD Phenom x4 940 @ 3.6ghz sound problems

[shiftstealth]

After about 4 hours, everything still runs fine but the sound slows down then dies?

Didnt happen with my 7750, what should i do or could i try to solve this?

Could this be the voltage on my cpu? Like a tad tad tad too low?

its probably your cpu, same thing happend to me with one of my older phenoms

I changed the bitrate through the sound options in vista, went from 16 bit to 24 bit and havent had a problem since.

 

[stevensl2]

i keep mine at 3.4 so there are no crashes whatsoever.

I dont have any crashes either @ 3.6ghz, anything above it i get bsod's unless i go with a significantly higher voltage.
