    any ideas?

    why now i have reinstalled my machine, are my mp3's jumpy?

    plays back ok, loads ok, runs ok, but the sound "stutters" and more so when cpu\ hd usage is up.

    any ideas?

    was thinking its something to do with bus mastering?

    Sounds a driver issue, you wanna be using direct sound output.

    Install the latest Direct X Drivers, also check for any (!) marks in your device manager.

    If your using winamp, options>prefs>plugins>output.

    Is it onboard sound?


    If its a PCI soundcard, then try swapping the slots, or checking for IRQ conflicts.

    i am convinced its something to do with my hard drives.

    copying between the two is so slow.

    i may swap them around the bus so both the HD's are on the 1, and the cds on the other, i havent done it yet as i couldnt be arsed....
