Media Player 11 for Vista stutters playing audio Tony UK 4/28/2007 10:56:01 AM My audio files play perfectly until the last 10 seconds when they stutter and jump. I have shuffle play turned on - it's as if the next track is being prepared for play and slows everything down. Running home premium with 4GB RAM. Any ideas please? Thanks

If this does fix you up, check with your sound card vendor - they should not be having this problem. I believe Dell/Sigmatel do have a driver update could fix you up too. =\ -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

Re: Media Player 11 for Vista stutters playing audio Tony UK 5/2/2007 6:59:02 PM Thanks for the fix about removing the sound enhancement - it worked. Unfortunately the new driver from Dell didn't help any so the sound enhancements are staying off.

For those making videos or wishing to as opposed to just viewing/listening to them, get a REAL video/audio editor package not Microsoft toys. Then with many products you get access to a wide range of built-in audio effects, plus a wide range of FX plug-ins, many free that give you full control of the audio including far more effects than the mickey mouse effects common to what's often thrown in with sound cards. For example it is possible to create your own Dolby 5-1 surround sound, meaning you can control what plays in each speaker, the volume fading up and down over time, have the music or sound pan from the left to right channel, from the front, right, left, center and back again, plus add real reverb, change pitch, etc., etc.. While settle for toys when for a few bucks more you get the real thing.

Re: Media Player 11 for Vista stutters playing audio "zachd [MSFT]" <zachd[ at ]nomailplz.online.microsoft.com> 6/26/2007 7:53:17 AM What sound card is this? You've updated the driver *and* turned off enhancements and are still having glitching? That sounds like the vendor's drivers are still wonky... so what sound card is this? -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
