  1. High Definition Audio Device causes cursor lag spikes


    Hello,

    I have been having mouse issues for several hours. About every ten seconds, the cursor will freeze in place, and then catch up to where my mouse is about a second later. As mild as it is, it's very annoying. I went through the usual steps, updating mouse drivers, graphics card drivers, plugging into different usb ports etc. In safe mode, this didn't happen. Task manager showed no spikes in disk or CPU usage when the cursor lag happened. I finally found a tip that audio drivers can sometimes interfere with the mouse. In my device manager, I have two audio drivers. "High Definition Audio Device" by Microsoft, and NVIDIA High Definition Audio. Disabling or uninstalling NVIDIA High Definition Audio does nothing, but when I disable or uninstall High Definition Audio Device, the lag spikes don't happen. Of course, then I have no audio. What can I do? Do I have to choose audio or functional mouse?


    Thanks for your time.

    :)

    High Definition Audio Device drivers missing

    Hi Davide

    The High Definition Audio drivers are built into Windows already

    Right click that device in Device Manager, choose 'Update Driver

    Then choose 'Browse my computer for Driver Software' - 'Let me pick from a list of available drivers'

    If you do not see the default High Definition Audio device, untick 'Show Compatible Hardware'

    On the left, select Microsoft, then on the right scroll down to find 'High Definition Audio Device Version 10.0. . . . .

    AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In

    John,

    Thanks for your suggestion, but the sound playback device was greyed out again this morning and reads: "AMD High Definition Audio Device Not Plugged In".

    Once again, uninstalling AMD High Definition Audio Device and deleting the driver in the Device Manager and rebooting brought the sound device back.

    Any other ideas?
