Global Conflict

if you have a sound card then disable that one and try to use the onboard chip on your motherboard. All motherboards have a onboard sound card.

If you are already using your onboard sound card (so you don't have an external sound card, then buy a external sound card.
Sorry, can't explain it good

But this is what I mean with external sound card:

Hmmm.. Good idea, but that might be tough to fit into my laptop

There are sound cards for Laptops.

Does your laptop have an Expresscard slot?

Dont even go USB for sound.

What model laptop is this? Have you tried force installing drivers from the chipmakers site? (realtek)

Have you verified your memory is good using memtest86+ ?

I have a USB headset from logitech, I was sceptical before getting it because I'd always heard of problems with them. However, other than needing to have them plugged in before starting TS, I've not had any problems with them.

The issue I hear is stressing the USB bus and causing sporadic poor response on a USB mouse as the mouse doesnt have a dedicated interrupt. Partly why some motherboards are putting PS2 ports back on.

I can't say I've experienced that personally.

Discussion about usb mouse poll rate causing lag. May not apply.

Cool, thanks for the link.

you could try disabling mouse acceleration if it isn't already.

It is a Lenovo Y560 http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Len ... 963.0.html

I haven't focused on the RAM as the game runs great with the sound card disabled...
I am downloading the newest drivers from Realtek now, lets see how that goes.

Both fit in your Expresscard slot (34mm).

Thanks Fitty,

just so I understand, will these cards completely bypass my current audio device?

Thanks bro!
