Media Player 11 for Vista stutters playing audio

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

Right-click on the Speaker icon in the system tray, select Playback Devices,
right-click Speakers in that new dialog, go to Properties, then go to
Enhancements - choose "Disable All Enhancements" and you should be fixed up.
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. =\

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.

Thanks you, zachd - I had the exact same problem & your first suggestion
worked for me. -- B. Lair

I have tried both fixes and still have the problem - any ideas?

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?

After switching the machine off over night and using it again this morning the roblem has been fixed (i had restarted previously) :)

My media player had the same problem as discussed above. I followed the
instructions and now everything is working perfectly. Thanx
