RE: Sound from CD's and Flight sim are abrupt, unsteady, drops off reg sheldonj 7/8/2007 1:10:01 AM I don't see where my first reply got posted. So this is what I have and what I have done. CP is Gateway FX530XV Intel Core 2, VISTA is OEM. Sound has driver Creative SBX-Fi Audio Processor (WDM). I have a new StarTech 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PCI Card. This is the only new parts tht have been installed. I have had to goto software manf. for several drivers, Quicktime is one that hasn't gotten one yet. Some changes requires me to go into regedit and add "old" to a line so the program would work. Nothing I have done has helped with the sound problem. -- old dog trying to learn new tricks!
