    Anyone here who is running Battlefield 2 get a lot of stuttering on their G1S in game?

    I'm pretty convinced the stuttering is sound related, as if the G1S' on-board sound card cannot handle all the sounds BF2 throws out at it.

    Any comments?

    No stuttering here. Make sure you have the latest drivers.

    Have you tried removing the ASUS bloatware? It's been known to cause stuttering issues in Windows and games.

    ASUS Security Manager
    ASUS Lifeframe

    AFAI remember

    I think Security Data Manager is gone.

    Here's a list of what's running my system.

    See any good stuff to get rid off that may help?

    I'm still convinced it's a sound issue because the stuttering seems to occur whenever there is a lot of talking (ie., when you hear your team mates shouting things in Arabic).

    I've tried turning all the sound sliders down. No luck. Stutters make the game unplayable because during a stutter I'm basically incapacitated and someone will shoot me and there is nothing I can do about it... hahha

    What kind of sound card does a G1S have anyway?

    I've noticed that, too. Stutres will eventually go away after 10 minutes on a map.

    I wonder what explains it?

    Good news.

    I "appear" to have fixed it:

    I re-installed the Audio driver for the G1S from the Asus website and no more stutters.

    I figured it was an audio issue...
