Playing MP3's with an Augidy card


Recommended Posts

i've had an audigy for about 6 months now and it works great. i use winamp (the only mp3 player ;) ) i dont have it skip, but my friend has his skip sometimes because of his hd, his is ata33 still, mine doesnt and i have ata100. but i dont think that is the real reason, i think his RAM is fried. that might be problem, dunno. could just be the bitrate on the mp3s u are playing =) dunno

it could be winamp, the worst mp3 player ever ;) :D

i like WMP but that has nothing to do with the audigy. try installing the newest drivers and hope for the best

I had a similar problem when using WinAmp before. I used Windows Media Player (god help me) and it worked fine. When i got more RAM the problems disappeared.

how much disk activity do you have when playing MP3s, also, how about the rest of your system, CPU, RAM, a lot of other stuff running?

i have --- P3 800, 512 RAM, and yeah im doing a bunch of stuff while listening but i dont think i have to close down everything just to listen to mp3s. i never had to in the first place. the only thing i thought of is that the main drive is 5400rpm but i forget that the mp3s are playing off a faster archive drive. so i dont think thats it either.

Yeah i had this problem only with the drivers that came on the CD. Installed the latest update off their website and no more skipping :)

My recomendation...

Load up perfmon and have it monitor disc read/writes as well as RAM read/writes and Virtual Memory read/writes.

Chances are when one of these skipping attacks happens, you will see it on perfmon.

My bet is on HDD read/write issues...

just my 2 cents...
