In all my years of working with PCs I've not come across this before. Sound card in a PC, plays sound fine, except if you move the player, ie. click the header and wiggle or move Winamp or Media Player, the sound gets distorted. I've tried another soundcard and the one on board, but nothing. I've rebuilt Windows on this thing twice. Its by no means the fastest computer on the planet, its a 766Mhz Celeron, with 256Mb Ram. It should work. Any ideas? |

I don't think so, do you? Besides, the same sound cards worked fine in a lesser spec machine :S |

i think it's just skipping a bit because of cpu, not distorting also maybe your soundcard settings: when i preview a wav in nero, nero turn off the wav volume in my soundcard interface program, it's all interconnected |

V. Strange. Is it only during the moving of the player that the sound breaks up? What about during other things, e.g. when CPU load is high? I've had something similar with video breaking up on a Dual monitor setup when you move a video player on the seocnd window... Is this your PC or a works one? Has the problem been there forever. PS flatmate is back to her tricks, so I am making extra efforts to find a new place. |

Yeah, but what I dont get, is that my Pentium III 450Mhz plays is ok with the same sound card, shouldnt this thing be slightly better? |

..so maybe it get louder somehow and then distorts |

This is a newer PC I have gotten for Ceri, the machine used to run 98, but as to its history I don't think the sound was ever used. That being said, the card is fine in the PIII. I'll speak with you later, and you can tell me all about the flatmate! |

something wrong with your motherboard perhaps..i assume you already tried out different drivers? |

I've installed the latest motherboard drivers and that doesnt make any difference, although what I have noticed is that is stutters the playback when doing other things :( I was in Device Manager disabling other things to see if that would make a different and it didnt. It must be the Celeron :( |

possible problems: 1.winamp/wmp incompatibility [i'd remove/reinstall wmp] 2."I've rebuilt Windows on this thing twice" - what exactly did you do ? 3."i think it's just skipping a bit because of cpu" - possibly big's right 4."it's all interconnected" - also true. Watch out for Nero 6 [if you have it], it does some faggin things like interferring with [wmp] dvd player - which is obviously shit good luck |
