T410 Extremely Annoying Audio Issues [ Edited ]

[JameZ]

@Ultranova,

Based on a quick search on T510i audio stutter and audio issues, am unable to find any audio stuttering issues on it. Also based on previous post there are some users who has the T410 with Intel GPU are not reporting any audio issues.

You could create a new post and on the T series thread and check with T510i owners and see if they are experiencing any audio issues.

@All,

New Nvidia drivers are uploaded on the site. Appreciate if you could test it .

Hi JameZ,

Regarding the graphix controller of T510i it sais:

"Intel 5 Integrated GFX with no power"

 Intel HD Graphics Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0

So no problems are to be expected ?

Best regards,

U.

What about the T410s with switching graphics?

Hi JameZ,

It's even worse at my T410 2522PB7 i5 520, 4G RAM, 32bit Win7 Pro.

Online vedio application die more frequently.

Mucic swaping left and right more then before.

Latency is the same.

Still getting ' Display driver stopped responding and has recovered'.

I m going to restore old version driver now.

new drivers appear to be much better than old ones, but i haven't had an opportunity to test.

I will give the drivers a thorough test this weekend and report back.  one thing that surprises me is how the lenovo drivers never have powermizer settings available?  why is that?

I will test and see if these drivers are better than simply custom-installing other lenovo drivers.

[masterllama]

the drivers are a litlte buggy.

for example, color gradients come out as sharp lines instead of smooth color changes.

Thought it was just my imagination about the colors looking strange. Almost like one is running at a lover color bit setting.

OK, experienced strange behaviour now. Massive cursor lag and then system completely froze. I strongly suspect this new driver isn't any good. What's up with this Lenovo? The older driver did crash ocasionally  but never locked up Windows.

I've had pretty good results with this driver on my lenovo (t410, i5 M560, 8 gb ram, 3100m, win7 64bit pro) however the driver still needs some work. Let me elaborate on my experiences: 

I DJ with Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2 and external mixer connected through the powered usb slot

Pre driver install: lots of crackling, dropouts occured atleast every minute, CPU spikes every 20-30 seconds, then settles at about 40-50%

Post driver install: no crackling, dropouts occur about every 5 minutes or so, CPU resources remain low (less than 20%)

So once again, this is an improvement but it definitely still needs work as my 4 year old iMac (2.0 ghz core 2 duo, 1 gb ram) does not exhibit any drop outs or crackling. 

Please contact me if you would like me to run any dianostics as I use the DJ software.

mcaro, trying going to the nvidia control panel and changing the mode from adaptive power mode to performance mode.

that may help, i will do testing this weekend
