audio / video skips constantly :(
hi.
it seems that you are my last hope. it is really crazy and i am almost thinking about just throwing this whole pc out and maybe buying a macbook instead as soon as i got money ...
i need my laptop (acer travelmate 292, 1.5ghz, 512 MB, insyde software csu bios ver 1.30) for producing music. i do have an external usb soundcard (edirol ua-25) but windows is just driving me nuts.
even by only playing one simple MP3 file in winamp (or just having the windows-starting sound during the boot process) and without running any other software, the sound cracks, skips and jerks around. and that with already assigning the buffer size to "very large". if i chose "very small or medium" it would take me probably 10 seconds to play a 3 second mp3 file.
i don't think, it is the sound card mainly, since i tried the onboard realtek soundcard stand alone as well and it is almost as bad. it must be something with windows. i already tried de-installing everything else on the computer, running registry cleaners and virus scanners, etc. - and there was one more tip, saying to "give priority to background processes" or something, but it still doesn't work.
is it just like that, that if you have windows running for more than 1 year in a row, you just need to format the whole thing? i am sure it would work after that - because it once did in earlier days - but i just don't wanna format since everything else works fine.
i am very greatful for every small tip ... this thing really drives me nuts.
thanks
ben
