Bluray Drive + Transformer Revenge of the Fallen Audio issues

This is for anyone with a 1640/45 possibly same thing on the 47 since they're all virtually identical save processor.

If you have the above plus a bluray drive (specifically the Bluray 4x RE) and Transformers 2 on bluray.

Do you notice that when playing the game there is a lot of crazy distortion sounds and popping noises? Never truly the same or in the same place.

I had this problem with my 1640 and my new 1645.

1640 was P8800, Ati 3670 and similar features as listed in my new configuration.

Bios updates don't seem to have resolved this issue, neither has different laptops. Only thing left is to check if this is specific to my copy of transformers.

I've not really checked to see if this is replicated via other titles but thats next on my list of things to figure out if this thread doesn't garner any useful results.

Thanks.

 

Oh, just as a point of reference. I heard the same thing when I was playing Crysis Warhead during the opening cinematic (black screen no less). This I assume is due to a throtteling problem which was causing seriousl slowdown and chopping in the game. (which affected the audio)

But i'm not sure how this relates to bluray playback unless bluray playback is very GPU CPU intensive for transformers lol.

 

tbh no ... I've played and replayed Warhead many times and have noticed nothing weird ... tbh I didn't even realize my laptop was throttling until I ran the tests lol

 

I noticed that it worked great in warhead at 1080 and gamer graphics then it would stutter after a while. On battery.

On power just a nightmare. Now it just unplayable at that graphic seting but it's not bugging out audio wise but transformers still is.

 

Oh if I game on battery than my usual max settings will just lag the f out of me.

 

Well, looks like powerdvd had more updating to do. Seems to have solved my transformers issue. This thread can close.
