This has been going some time on my pc, but i have finally given up the willpower to take anymore.

I first noticed it when i was playing MP3's. The whole track will play(no matter what song), but skips, like a cd skips, it misses a word or something. I thought, maybe its just where i copied it from a CD to MP3, so i tried copying to WMA, same again, even a MPŁ from the net, same again.

Even now I have noticed it as im watching a film or something.

I dont know how to go about resolving the problem, It wouldnt be the processor would it.

Ive re-installed media player and tried other player, same???????
WTF

any help would be fantastic,

Thanks very much

Tony

 

try re installing the sound card and drivers? update drivers?

 

tried, same?

alot of the time it seems to jump when i do something, like for instance, change a page on the net, (BBand)

thanks

hit it repeatedly with a stick?

something like that happened to me on my old system so i just formatted it and started over n it was fine..bit drastic but it worked

 

AAAAAhhh, i cant do that, it took me a few re-installs to get the baby going.

But bringing on the pain with a stick, hmmm

 

hmm i duno then, as i said ive only come across this once myself and i tend to just wipe clean when somat goes wrong as i always back my stuff up...

maybe try doin a search of the microsoft knowledge base site for something?

 

If you have the latest drivers for your soundcard . . . I would also recommend running a thorough Scandisk and also Defragment your hard disk. Problems like this can be caused by hard disk problems.

Also try installing a new MP3 codec like the Fraunhofer one, could be that your codec is damaged (edit: This sounds most likely to me)

I had this problem with an AMD 1.4 on an Epox mobo with integrated sound. Assumed it was the integrated sound being ****e so bought a good sound card. Still did it.

Total Re-install, including pulling all cards and forcing a reallocation of the IRQs etc sorted it. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING fixed it short of that.

Real pain in the ***. I feel for you on this one.

 

mine did this a while back i tried various things, what fixed it was a bios update even though it was same bios version.

Si

 

actually yeah the codec thing does sound fairly likly so i'd try that b4 wipeing...there are various codecs availabe here there and everywhere just do a google search
