I'm having problems with my sound, specifically with mp3's. I'll be playing an mp3, and it will be all fine, but as soon as I get too many applications going at once (say, photoshop, one instance of Explorer, and 3 instances of IE), the mp3 randomly "freezes" on a note, so it just gets stuck buzzing at that note and I have to mute my speakers so I don't drive myself crazy. I then have to kill the winamp.exe process and cut back on the number of programs I am using in order to play another mp3.
So it seems as if this problem is related to how many other programs I have open on my computer, which means it is related to memory--either my RAM or my VM. I've got 1 gig of RAM, so I don't see how that could be a problem. However, I still get "Insufficient memory" pop-up boxes once in awhile when I have too many programs open, so maybe it is, in fact, that I don't have enough RAM. But this doesn't make any sense because I was able to have MORE programs open at once back when I only had like 384mb of RAM.
So my guess is that somehow, the buffer that winamp uses is getting affected with other programs open. Can anybody help?
