Hi all,
I really felt for the OP because I’ve just had to change my laptop from a Lenovo with i5 intel, to an HP Pavillion with AMD 8 processor. It all started well then I started to get clicks, pops and sudden latency and I panicked because I thought I had bought a wrong 'un!!
I did the full range of updates, looked at the advice here about adjusting processor settings etc. but I couldn’t get much improvement. Last weekend I downloaded updates from AMD and hey presto, everything seems to be running smoothly.
One thing though, I haven’t, as far as I know, disabled hyperthreading because I don’t know how, but I have noticed that my system works best if it is plugged in and not running on battery?
I use my system for both home recording and VST Connect and, since the AMD updates, it does seem to be better than the i5 intel I was using.
