problem with sound/music :(
 

when i listen to music, it skips about a second randomly during songs. this happens about 2-10 times per song.

the problem started about a month ago and i dont remember changing anything about my computer when it started

Windows XP
Logitech z640 speakers
some crappy soundcard ive been using for about 2 years (could this be it?)
athlon xp cpu


please help!

I'd get a new soundblaster or something (you can get them for a little over 20 bucks nowadays, or cheaper if you care to make the Pricewatch dare). Time for an upgrade anyway :)

reinstall your drivers (if you ever even installed any)

that's all I got

wat else is ur comp doing except for playing music? it could just be running out of processing power...
ctrl+alt+del and check out ur processes and how much cpu% ur using :)

that and maybe what player are you using? this happened to me when I tried out Jet player but stopped when I went back to winamp

ill try reinstalling the drivers tonight. i dont think its the player because it happens on both winamp and wmp. thanks for the tips guys.
