stuttuttuttering audio

Hi, I use LimeWire (www.limewire.com) for my music downloading/listening to. Lately all the songs 'skip' or stutter or stop for a split second every 2 seconds. Annoys the hell out of me cos I cant hear my songs. Its like when I use my CD player (where you cant listen to a cd without a few thousand skips, and its impossible to use while walking)

Anyone know a solution? Thanks in advance

Comp specs:
Asus A7V8X nforce2 (nvidia soundstorm audio)
768 MB PC3200 Kingston
AMD AthlonXP Barton 2500
Windows XP
Dont think the rest matters, but..
Geforce 3 ti200
40GB 2MB cash WD drive
lite on CDROM
cheap case with 230 watt PS

I dont think its a problem with my comp being to slow to handle all the programs (usually I just have IE, Limewire, and AIM open), as you can see its pretty speedy (for my needs anyways)

I hate to suggest, but it could be the audio files themselves that are causing the problem. Perhaps some new bug that RIAA is putting into ripped songs, like a watermark or something even more annoying.

This happened to me, believe it or not. It still does it every once in a while. I have an nforce 2 chipset with the soundstorm audio as well on my Abit NF7-S mobo. I never got it fixed, and it still does it to this day. It's only bad when I try to access other files while I'm listening to music. like if I was to open a notepad file while listening to a song it will skip.


sometimes, when it's REALLY bad, the mouse and/or keyboard seems to make the mp3s skip as well. never got this issue fixed

The prob with that is that its for VIA chipsets- I dont have a VIA chipset, I have a NVidia one.
Thanks though for the replies.

I wish I could provide a decent explanation of WHY this is happening, but I can't really. The two things I can think of are 1) some kind of registry thing, with it all clogged (I don't know if that would affect it), or 2) lots of background processes running.

And either way, the only EFFECTIVE way I got rid of this problem myself was a reformat. I seldom get this any more, but every four months or so when I had my old PII 450 MHz Dell this would come up, and the only thing I got to fix it was a reformat. Sorry I couldn't give any more useful information...

Ah, its not stutering (sp? lol) now in the cold morning.
Maybe it had something to do with overheating, even if it doesnt ever go over 75 degrees here during the day.

My proc is 50C and case is 30C according to MBM 5.

my MP3's do this too. Alot of them I've had for over a year and have never had a problem. REcently I can't even get through a whole song because of the skipping.

have you tried a different media player? also, is this on songs you've downloaded only, or would this happen if you ripped something from a cd?

In that case, it would likely be either trouble with the limewire software, or you're just getting bad copies of everything. You might try downloading some other media format like video (Red vs Blue would be a great one to try... :-D) and see if a similar problem occurs.
