I've had some chronic issues with audio that I think I've traced to
the presence of Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus. Anyone have
or had issues with this?

Have you tried to switch off the real-time security part? It´s hidden in
some menu, but it´s there...

No, but try shutting it down and installing ClamAV. Configure it so it
doesn't do active scanning while you're working. See if that helps.

It seemed to work once but on another occasion the problem persisted
even after a reboot.

Please give the details of your reasoning.


New clean install of O/S due to chronic issues with audio for the
purpose of trying to track down what's causing the problem. Installed
Cakewalk which has previously worked without issue on other machines
including this one with the same O/S. All is well until installing MSE
which I started using only fairly recently. Didn't notice it right
away because I hadn't fired up Cakewalk in a while. Same issues arise
as was occurring before the install with both Cakewalk and Windows
Media player. Go back to restore point before installing of MSE and
all is well again.

Many AV suites cause audio problems.

I yanked the M-Audio 2496 out of my other computer and installed it
and so far haven't had problems. Seems the SoundBlaster Audigy
Platinum EX has problems getting along with the antivirus on this
system though it's worked fine on others.

Any security product can cause performance problems, depending on your
particular circumstance. If you want to single out any one product for
criticism, we have to make a case for it hurting performance to an
exceptional degree, given the circumstance.

If I were to criticize MSE, I would mention a situation that is active right
now where a client's machine is infected with two viruses that MSE can't
remove. But, neither can the competitive products that I've also tried.

In this case, it's not something esoteric, the sound gets completely
borked. Loud static and repetitive noise when an audio file is
present. But I've discovered that the issues don't materialize with a
different sound card.

For grins, have you tried Malwarebytes? There's a free version that
seems to do a good job of finding things that others miss.

I second this... If MS has an "Active" agent... it does a future seek
scan, this will eventaully clitch your audio stream.

Turn off ANY and ALL resisdent Scans while running your computer in
DAW mode. Regardless of configuration.

Hope this helps...
