I just reformatted and have run into and old problem of mine: The sound stutter. When I first built my machine I ran into the same problem and found the solution, unfortunately the solution I found does not appear to exist anymore. I simply had to update my Sata RAID controllers to fix the issue and that was that, but I can’t find them anymore and Intel doesn’t appear to host them anymore.
Specs:
OS: XP Pro
MoBo: Foxconn G43MX-K
Intel G43 North
Intel ICH10 South
Chipset up to date
Sound: Onboard AC’97, up to date
GFX: ATI Radeon 4850 HD up to date
DX9C up to date
PCI: PATA 133
HDDs: 1x SAMSUNG HD103UJ SATA
1x Maxtor 7Y250P0 SCSI Disk Device
2x WDC WD32 00JB-00kFA0 SCSI Disk Device
Other Drives:
ATAPI CD-R/W 48X12 SCSI CdRom Device
Many will see the SATA drive and wonder if it’s the culprit, but the original problem occurred long before I got that drive. The problem I’m running into now is that Intel doesn’t seem to have any RAID controllers for the ICH10 chipset, and that means I can’t fix it the original way. I’m currently updating to Service Pack 3, hoping that will get the needed updates. In case that doesn’t work, any suggestions?
