I initially thought it was a problem with either my hardware, (it creates that old 'scratched capacitor' effect soundwise) i.e. a cable or jack problem, then, having tested all that, I thought I must need a new soundcard... but then I noticed that on Mozilla and other browsers, and indeed on playing CDs, the soundcard is fine, and all speeds are correct. Has anyone noticed this recently on Chrome, or has anyone a clue re this? A 56 second vid comes in around 1 minute 4 seconds, and has this staccato-choppy sound. Any replies greatly appreciated.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2015 - 3:03 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Haven't noticed this on Chrome at home or at work.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2015 - 3:49 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) Haven't noticed this on Chrome at home or at work. Thanks, I don't think anyone has. It's just on one machine. I'll reinstall Chrome I think.    Posted:   Aug 25, 2015 - 4:13 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) Getting the same problem here too. Serious Chrome crashes using older XP and Vista machines. Might be linked to media content rich websites. Haven't tried my W7 machine yet though. Could be that Chrome has outgrown those OSs. Nasty built in obsolescence??!!    Posted:   Aug 25, 2015 - 4:42 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) Getting the same problem here too. Serious Chrome crashes using older XP and Vista machines.

It seems to be with Windows 10 as well. Lots of people are finding it so, but here are some possible fixes: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3ffhkz/choppy_audio_in_google_chrome_after_upgrading_to/    Posted:   Aug 26, 2015 - 11:06 AM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) Chrome has gotten to be a bloated memory hog lately, mostly because they haven't tried to change the core way it works to perform well on lower-power machines. The huge memory usage of Chrome assumes that you have massive amounts of RAM such that what they use is minimal. But I am still running an older machine like many people out there so Google's lack of attention to Chrome's bloated form is disappointing.    Posted:   Aug 26, 2015 - 2:19 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) May also be 3rd party firewall/anti virus running with Chrome and other plugins on older machines causing issues after an update. Difficult to track all these potential causes down. They're usually slightly different from user to user. One solution does not fit all.    Posted:   Aug 26, 2015 - 3:48 PM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) The working set memory is huge, CPU minimal to zero. It all seems too recent for that, certainly in my case.    Posted:   Aug 26, 2015 - 5:08 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) William, not necessarily CPU related and I'm not entirely sure BUT I think a high "system idle" process actually indicates a high memory usage and vise versa - counter-intuitive perhaps, but that's what I read somewhere. You could check that in the windows task manager.    Posted:   Aug 27, 2015 - 8:03 AM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) I recently updated to Google Chrome because IE8 is being turned away from more and more websites. Can't say I've had any serious problems with it yet. Chrome has an "updater" piece of software that hangs around. I use the Mark Russinovich "sysinternals" diagnostic suite of programs, downloadable from Microsoft, to check out the system. Process Explorer is an excellent "must have" piece of software. It's much more informative than the Windows default Task Manager. That dangling Chrome addon gets spliced out using it. You can also download the "autoruns" program to see what gets loaded at bootstrap. It allows you to selectively surgically remove any unwanted programs that have invited themselves, unobserved and uninvited, on to your system. It may look complicated at first glance, however, you'll soon get the hang of it. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb545021.aspx    Posted:   Aug 30, 2015 - 11:03 PM     By:   Heath   (Member) For what it's worth, I recently completely deactivated shockwave and java in chrome. The problems have disappeared. However, this does mean that I can't use embedded music/media players on some websites. Better than crashes every few minutes though.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Query re Choppy Chrome?    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
