Windows 7 Windows 7 General and Audio Lag (Severe)

[shygirl1999]

Ever since I had gotten my new laptop with Windows 7 instead I have had nothing but problems with lag while playing World of Warcraft (WoW) or doing anything that requires sound (sometimes even when it has nothing to do with sound).

Most annoying is:
Playing WoW (with game audio shut off) and having to run Ventrillio to use forparty or guild chat and I get extreme audio distortion and lag to the point where it makes me literally want to throw my headset out of the window. I can't even talk back to them because it makes my party take off their headsets as well to tell me to stop talking on vent since they hear it as well.

I ----m -- (lag and static here) go--n-- (lag and static here) --- Yu----
(the -'s mean its just ineligible with the lag) that's pretty much the best way I can explain it.

I know it is not my internet because my previous laptop(s) I could run wow and be fine on vent at the same time. No problem; now it's just ... awful since I got a new laptop with this OS.

There is pretty much lag anywhere I go; even typing this message, (letters didn't show up until after a couple seconds upon keying them in)

===What I have tried===
1) Disable Multimedia Class Scheduler (Sure; it fixes the audio lag, problem is .. NO SOUND AT ALL = No Vent)
2) Reduce game network latency in Windows 7 or Vista (Reduce game network latency in Windows 7 or Vista) - This did Nothing.
3) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 (I can't find the problem with this!)

I just went to Malwarebytes and you can download a free version (tab on the left). Spybot Search and Destroy is just as good if you are having problems finding the free version of malwarebytes antimalware.

I used the one you told me about: MalwareBytes Antimalware; it wont let remove it unless i pay $30. I don't know where to find free ones, when I did a search, I tried a few others and they are the same, pay to remove.

i got it but it didnt find as many as the pro one did. It found 2 errors.

problem is not coming from a virus... but from a bug (still unresolved for me)

Default IME not responding, no sound coming out of computer, no video playback

I turned my laptop on today and every time I try to stream a video online, whether it be from megavideo, bbc iplayer, youtube etc causes the browser window to crash immediately. I then tried to play a film in windows media player - it wont open and immediately crashes. The same film will play in VLC but with no sound. The volume control seems to be bugged and I can't open it, either from the keyboard or from the desktop toolbar. When I open task manager, it says 'Default IME not responding'. I cant open Itunes, and I can't open the sound tab from the control panel, it freezes immediately. I've done a virus scan and tried the windows troubleshooters, Ive reinstalled windows media player and I'm now completely stuck I cant reinstall windows cuz the disc is at university and I'm not back there for a month and I can't handle my laptop not working for so long, please help!!!!

Thanks, Rachel​

seems to be the same problem

seems to be the same problem

it might be the same thing, I don't know, But i am fed up with this and am planning to reformat my laptop later today. If this does not work, then I know it's a problem with the OS (Windows 7) itself.

I really wouldn't know what to do after that if it dosen't fix it.

Ok so I reinstalled windows 7 and ITS STILL HAPPENING. Please tell me again this is not because of Windows 7. I haven't even reinstalled ANYTHING; went to something simple like youtube, and I still have audio lag!

Now what am I supposed to do?!
