Mp3 jitters under WinXP when using scroll wheel

[AgentJ]

Hi

I haven't had this problem before but about a few weeks ago. I noticed that when I had to scroll through a window with a lot of stuff in it or a long webpage with the MS intellimouse optical my mp3s playing through winamp would stutter. I can't seem to isolate the problem. System specs are Athlon XP 1500, 512MB ram, 30GB HD.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

Jason

Do you have the latest drivers for the sound card? This is a very common problem (i.e., when win2k came out, many users had the similar problem. Updating the sound card drivers did the trick for many).

i had a similar problem a while ago. apparently mine was a little worse. my music would stutter or become distorted whenever i scrolled a window or right clicked, or hit the start button. apparently it had something to do with my visual effects. and my video card was conflicting my sound card for some reason or another. maybe they were sharing resources, but they were on different IRQs. I knew it wasnt my sound card, because i tried my onboard sound card and my audigy, and both had the same problem. (btw it happen in winxp, win2k, and win me). then i found out it was because i had a PCI VGA, (voodoo 5500 PCI). i borrowed my friends voodoo 3 AGP, and the problem was gone. so now, i have a radeon 8500 AGP, and its fine. i dont know what your exact problem is, but im saying there is a slight chance it could be your visual effects (xp has a lot) conflicting with your sound, (therefore video card, and soundcard). good luck

I have experienced, back in the old days of 386, sound jitter when the audio card was to close on the video card. Just a suggestion...
