    PC Laptops: issues with random clipping sounds

    "Yes, 4G might be a little light but then this HP i3 managed with 4G fine for several years and an upgrade to 8G has not shown any improvement.

    PC Laptops: issues with random clipping sounds

    I am having some issues. I usually use a desktop for my recordings, but I have started to use some virtual instruments on a laptop to perform. I am getting a clipping/stutter sound out of two different pc laptops when I use external sound cards. This happens with regular mp3 audio. One is a...
