Audio Problems

I've always had a problem where I'd be going about my business after logging in, when my audio would start getting static and muffled sounding. It's always bothered me, but a quick relog always solved the problem.

Well I'm really tired of it, so I started to do some nosing around. I opened the debug console and noticed there is a steady stream of errors...and I mean a LOT. These errors start as soon as I log in. I can only assume that after a bazillion of them (read:a few minutes), something overflows, and thats why my audio clips...

The errors stop if I stop the music control (streaming audio). These errors start piling up on ANY parcel with streaming audio. Local sounds such as flying or a scripted pool splash do not seem to cause any errors.

The errors are as follows:
CODE

WARNING Channel 56021 (or some number usually greater than 30000)
WARNING SourceID: 8f1f5e79-cba3-fc00-5437-211a76bdade0 at { 253875, 260419, 20.9515} (the key and vector type elements change with each error)
WARNING LLAudioChannelFMOD::updateBuffer error: An invalid parameter was passed to this function
WARNING LLAudioChannelFMOD::update3DPosition error: An invalid parameter was passed to this function
WARNING LLAudioChannelFMOD::cleanup error: An invalid parameter was passed to this function


As far as I know, I do not have any environmental/3D/EAX type filtering enabled on my sound card. I couldn't find anything specific...

My sound card is onboard an Asus A7N8X-Deluxe, which is listed in my device manager as an NVidia nForce MCP Audio Processing Unit (Dolby(R) Digital)

UPDATE:

I reinstalled SL, and the steady stream of errors went away (as well as doubling my fps).

BUT the problem where the stream turns to a muffled static clipping sound still occurs. Actually it seems to happen quicker now, as well as a little more dramatic.

Posted here, and mailed to [email]support@secondlife.com[/email], still waiting to hear from someone, will post if there is a solution.

I acutaly have a similar problem too Jokey, but its more of a spcific one with skype. If I open skype then run SL it causes major static. now if I open SL first then Skype it usualy works fine, "usualy" sometimes it still does it. The problem is ONLY with SL too. I have tried the following sound cards and it STILL does it, its a SL problem, or Skype, who knows.

Sound Blaster Live 7.1
Sound Blaster Audigy
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX (this is a USB sound card, external)
Sound Blaster X-FI (got this card yesterday, STILL does it!)
