Re: XP Audio Jump/Skips when playing DVDs


The hardware specs are as follows.... CPU: Intel P2 350Mhz, RAM:
384MB/PC100, I am running XP Service Pack 3 with all updates installed for
software and hardware. I pulled the Sound Blaster 16 card from another XP
System that plays DVDs with no audio problems, the only difference is the
CPU, Memory and Make of the Motherboard. I have researched out all the
drivers and have updated them all either through the manufactures website or
Driversguide.com

I even changed out the original video card (ATI Rage Pro,8MB) with a Diamond
Stealth 32MB.

I hope this helps. Thanks again.

I have a Dell Dimension XPS R350 and just upgraded (Clean install) to Windows
XP (Home). I previously had Windows ME loaded on this system and it played
DVDs with out any problems. After installing Windows XP and everything and
loading the system I decided to try to play a DVD. Now the Audio when
playing a DVD or DVD (.vob) files, skips the video picture plays smoothly but
the audio is jumping. This does not happen when playing a avi, mpg, mpeg, or
standard mp3 file only when playing .vob files either from a DVD itself or
from the hard drive. The original sound card is built into the motherboard
and has a Crystal Chipset, I even disabled the crystal audio and inserted a
Sound Blaster 16 card with no improvement. This occures with various DVD
playing programs, MS Media player, Nero Showtime and others. I have swapped
out cables, drives and even CPUs (same speed and specs), with out any
difference. The only thing left to swap out is the Motherboard, totally
different CPU, and memory. This all started due to I installed a Lightscribe
DVD burner and found out that it does not support Windows ME so I installed
XP. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be the cause or the
resolution to this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

All the above info doesn't help much. How fast of a processor? How
much system memory? What is the level of Service Pack? Video and audio
drivers fully up to date? All XP patches installed?
