This ones really got me baffled.
I’ve a PIII 500 with 256M memory running a Soundblaster 128 PCI & a Voodoo 3 3000.
Recently (for no discernable reason) my PC’s sound & video playback have started to become “choppy” or “clicky”. This happens when I try & play a game or when I try to play wav, mp3 etc files.
Having installed the latest version of Direct X, my sound card drivers & sound card software & downloading all the lastest windows updates & Installing Media Player 7 I was still at a loss.
I turned off the Acceleration for the sound card which seems to fix some of the problem with mp3’s but wav files just become even more jerky.
I’ve removed the drivers & software for my card & re-installed them – no change.
then to make matters wore I’ve descovered that Real Player & Quick time seem to handle the problem files quite happily (aargghh). This, of course, does not help with my game issues).
I think I may well need help!
