i am using winamp to play some tunes and the shit gets all copy when I am using other programs. Shits annoying as fuck.

I was wondering if there are any fixes for this aside from not using other programs.

i have an intel centrino duo 1.6GHz laptop with 2500mb of ram

suggestions?

Try using a different media player (VLC ftw) if this still occurs then it's either drivers/bad sound card or :sighs: a virus.

VLC is too bloated. Try reinstalling your sound card drivers (whatever newest version you can find from manufacturer of laptop). What is your system performance like?

My shit never chops even with photoshop, imageready, etc running and i'm only on p3 800mhz with 512mb sdram

Sounds like something is spiking the CPU, have you looked at Task Manger when this happens? Check the processes and see if anything is using a high percentage of the CPU.

so i restarted my computer start running winamp with a photoshop to see what is happening. It's fine. After leaving my computer on for a day it starts up with the choppyness.

Did you check the processes to see CPU utilization? Also, considering that it starts after a day, check the memory usage as there may also be a memory leak.

I noticed that my sound output stopped working today, but mic input still worked

just uninstalled drivers and restarted

glad to hear it's fine

one day is a bit much for it to start fucking up again, but if it's a laptop, i can't see a reason to keep it on all the time anyways

My brother's laptop had been doing that for a while and it turned out to be that it was too slow :mamoru: he disabled Aero and had no more problems.

have you given WMPC a try? it takes very low resources, though sound quality is not quite up to par with winamp

i updated the sound drivers and everything seems to be perfect. I haven't heard any jidders in a couple of days. Thanks a ton guys.

Do you still leave the machine on 24/7?

Perhaps embedded driver update FTW?

Wonder what these drivers are coded in. C?
