Is that a question? How weak and insecure.
You should make a bold statement such as,

"It has been silent here the last couple of days!!!1!"

Be sure to add the multiple !!! and the 1! typo to indicate you were
typing quickly and aggressively in your convictions.

Well, for my part I have been trying to catch up on a back log of
unwatched movies, built a bunch of computers for a church (for free - I'm
so nice), and was the chauffeur to the airport for my parents while they
went to Columbus, Ohio for some contest my Dad was involved in.

ROFL. That sounds somewhat British to me, or at least that's the way they
pronounce "silent" in my ears.

I think you've mentioned the movie before. I am just not very good at
remembering quotes.

I've had that sort of thing happen with intense 3d games. Rebooting has
always fixed it. It might be as simple as the fact that my 5600 has no
heatsinks on the ram but I'm not going to worry about it now.

In some instances stuttering sound may be fixed by lowering sound HW
acceleration in dxdiag.
