I run a computer business. I had a client bring in a machine for some repair work. and in the process I ended up exchanging motherboard (bad CPU) the new motherboard had a sound card built on. The customer opted to use the new one rather than the old one. The sound card worked fine so I swiped it. Because the customer didn't want it.
I installed the card and the drivers and the sound skips when just playing .wav files. even when all I do is click on the speaker Icon in the systry just to test it. The sound will skip about 50 times before it shuts off. ( i haven't tried cd's or mp3's it's on a work machine and I don't have any of the short on it)
When I installed REd alert and loaded it. it gave a direct sound error. so I downloaded and installed DX8a and it made no difference.
I thought that maybe it was a memory error (like a buffer overflow or something) but that didn't seem to make a difference?
Any assitence? would be helpful.
