DVD Glitching

Just put together a new system and transferred my DVD player in the process. Everything played smoothly on the old rig, but on the new one it seems "glitchy." I know the term "glitchy" is rather vague so I'll just say it seems to skip like a CD would. The sound makes a scratch noise and it seems to drop a few frames of video.

Any ideas?
 
Hmmmm....I don't know. Why don't you list your system specs....

Easily could be driver issues, but at this point anything is just plain guessing...
 
CPU: Athlon XP 2100+
Mobo: Asus A7S333
RAM: 512MB Kingston PC2700
Pioneer DVD Drive
48x CDRW
Western Digital 7200RPM 75GB
Western Digital 7200RPM 55GB
Geforce2 Ti
Sounblaster Live! Value

Only the top 3 components are new.
 
make sure you have lasted via drivers installed....

order of installs should be....

1)OS
2)via drivers (latest up to date)
3)direct x
4)vid card drivers
5) sound card drivers

That system you have listed should handle that easily, so my guess is driver issues and or maybe a hardware conflict such as sound crad sharing irq with another device...Look in system properties under device manager and see if items are sharing irqs...if so try moving soundcard to another pci slot...
 
All drivers are up to date. I have messed with dx sound acceleration and even changed my sound card's slot.

Still gives the appearance that the system is bogged down at times - choppy framerate and static noises.
 
order is often quite important....Do you have a nic card??? How about the vid card.Does it have it own irq as well...
 
For giggle just remove NIC card and/or disable it and see if you still have issue.....Otherwise it is likely a software issue and who knows when it comes to software where it may lay. That system should be able to play dvds with 15% or less cpu utilization and not a glitch...
