Ok here is the deal, i just built a completly new compuer consisting of the following:
ASUS M3A78-EM(780G chipset im using onboard analog audio)
AMD quad core 9650(i think thats the model, its a Phenom 1 2.3Ghz quad core)
4GB PC1066(memory is stable runs memtest86+ for hours at 1066 speed)
Seagate SATA 1TB 7200.11
Samsung SATA DVD burner 22x
Linux Mint 6 all updates installed
The problem is that all my mp3's skip(not alot but maybe 5 to 10 times per song), i know its not the files cause when i upload them to my celphonel it plays them fine, also if i burn an audio CD from the files it plays fine in my car and under linux/windows. Also the same files play fine with windows. I am using VLC in both linux and windows and the default player in mint also skips on mp3's. Video however does not skip at all using the same player(i mean the audio in videos or video playback). Im at a loss. The only thing i can think of is Linux seems to be switching the cores in use by VLC or the default player very rapidly between my first and forth core, could that be causing the skipping? can i lock in VLC to only use one core? if so how. Thanks! Also im not OC anything
EDITED TO ADD: The windows machine the files play fine on is not the same box! thanks!

Now that im getting used to it i dont know why anyone uses windows anymore other than for gaming. Im selling my copy of vista when it arrives next week. I was going to dual boot because the girlfriend wanted windows for working on work related files and minor vid encoding/editing, but she says she likes openoffice and linux better than windows with MS office. Also the vid tools i downloaded for her to use she says are better. I never thought i would hear her say that as every time i suggested loading linux in the past she looked at me like i was growing horns and said she could never figure it out, typical MS brainwashing
