I Am Having Problems With My Sound Playback. Sounds Are Skipping And Sound Scratchy. Please Help!?
October 25th, 2009I was using windows media player and had no problems. I was able to surf the net, run windows live messenger and listen to music all at the same time. now i can barely move the mouse with out it messing up. The sound problems started about a week or so after i had downloaded I-Tunes. I have since removed it. I have also upgraded to the newest version of WMP after going through a troubleshoot. This Hasnt helped. I have also tried adjusting hardware acceleration and sample rate conversion quality.
I thought it may have been a virus problem, my protection at the time was not very good, (old norton that always had problems). Norton was removed and i replaced it with AVG Free version and i used Windows defender for spyware. I did buy Defender Pro and have switched to it but i am unsure if i just should have just stuck with AVG. So far i seem to be free and clear. I am now wondering if ultimately its a RAM issue. I have 512Mb, Dell, celeron 2.66Ghz. SoundMax Digital Audio.
