Hi everyone
I'm using an HD 7790 and an M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI soundcard.
Ever since I bought my gfx card and bought windows 7 (fresh install) a few months ago I get really bad (very loud) static noise when my GPU is under load e.g.: gaming. The frequency of this noise seems to be dependent on the framerate my gfx card puts out. I've invested too much time to try and fix this thing without success (asking both manufacturers for help) but here is the thing:
As soon as my display driver crashes and recovers this static noise doesn't occur anymore as long as I don't reboot my PC.
While my gfx driver crashed regularly the past months when surfing the internet and watching flash videos, it suddenly stopped when I tried out newer dirvers. This means I have no chance to use my gfx card alongside with sound as long as the driver doesn't crash by itself.
So how can I crash my display driver manually to solve my soundcard issue for the current session?
(I already tried disable/reenable driver in device manager without succes)
