Sound skips.

Mar 6, 2004 3:25PM PST

I recently installed a new video card and re-installed windows XP. After the Windows re-intsallation, I notice that my sound is skipping quite a bit and other things sputter a bit, as well. Such as mouse and page movement. Sound is most noticable, though. Any suggestions?

After a reinstall of the OS, the next step is to load any motherboard/chipset drivers, then updated for XP sound/video/modem/NIC etc drivers. Don't forget Windows updates.

Drop your Hardware Acceleration one notch at a time until it plays correctly.
