Audio Play Back Stutter

Freak · #1 27-04-09, 08:48 AM

Hi,

My audio has recently stated to stutter. Kind of like a cd skipping.

Physical memory in task manager is ram right? Well there is enough there for it to not be the computer being loaded.

I dont know what else it could be...

Hard drive?

Where are you playing the Audio from? MP3/CD/Net?

It might be worth trying a different media player regardless to see if that makes a difference, or set up the Windows performance monitor to display disk/memory/cpu performance. See if anythign is wrong there.

I am now thinking that its the HDD. It has been making a lot of noise when searching ans opening.

Any recommendations.

Its 500gb.

I used to get that kinda problem with Windows media player with any kind of operation going on from installation to opening a program

Winamp removed this problem (and sounds better, looks better, more functions etc. lol)

Also I have tried WMP again since getting my raptor x raid0 running

No stuttering

So perhaps try winamp or look at say...samsung F1?

Just playing some music off of last.fm and it is stuttering there.

What could this be?
