Hottwire Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi all,Ever since a recent upgrade to the AMD/ATI graphics HDMI drivers. During playback of videos (youtube/vlc etc....) It will sometimes cut out and make a lot of loud crackling which I'm concerned is slowly going to damage my speakers.Problem is I can't roll back drivers as between finding this fault I upgraded my Graphics card.Hardware specs attached @ DropboxSpeaker setupSapphire Radeon R9 280x Vapor --> Pioneer A/V Reciever --> Monitor.I tried the registry idea found at another site:open regedit and findHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Video\{XXXX...}\0000( 'XXXX' means device number. There are several device number folder and u should find 'AdapterDesc' in 0000 folder which key value is 'amd radeon HD 7XXX Series'. )At that '0000' folder, Change 'PP_SclkDeepSleepDisable REG_DWORD' value 0 to 1.and reboot~!~!~!but that made no difference.Should you need anything more from me please let me know.

spudboy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) This is what worked for me on my HD 7950, but what needs to be changed is slightly different with the latest drivers.http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/updated-amd-ati-2d-clock-guide.117633/This is what you will be looking for:name="CoreClockTarget_PCI_VEN_1002&DEV_679A&SUBSYS_201C1787&REV_00_4&80E7924&0&0008A"> <Property name="Want_0" value="30000" />Change the 30000 (or whatever number is listed in your file) to 50000.

As again got recommended this on the thread where i read about the registry fix... Apparently they were meant to fix it in this version.... would appear not Edited February 27, 2014 by Hottwire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I would do a complete uninstall and then delete that entire ATI folder in AppData\Local becasue the CCC uninstaller doesn't get rid of it. Then reinstall the beta and do those step in the tutorial again. Then in your copy/pasted profile, change any/all "Want_0" value=" to 50000, then activate that profile. After activating it you should see the changes in the Performance/AMD Overdrive section under GPU Clock (your Memory Clock should also go up automatically).They were supposed to have this fixed a couple years ago. I don't know why they can't get it right. Edited February 27, 2014 by spudboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimRock Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Try DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode to completely remove the Drivers from your system, then install the Latest Stable Drivers build v13.12, you can also use the Latest beta 14.2 v1.3 if it helps! :) IMO messing with user profile setting won't be much help as I had tried this workaround & didn't worked for me! :( P.S. : Delete your personal info from Spec info in the dropbox link e.g. Email id etc! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudboy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I don't think it's possible for it not to work. The cause of the issue is proven to be idle clock speeds being too low, and simply raising them fixes it. If it doesn't work you're doing it wrong. :P Edited February 27, 2014 by spudboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hottwire Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Cool I shall try DDU with a clean re-install.Yeah forgot about personal details in the report... done now :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hottwire Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Currently seeing how the 14.2 drivers hold out instead of 14.1. Will update with results when i can as it never does it when in a game or playing music. It's only on flash based youtube stuff or when watching something through vlc/media player classic.
