Guest Charlie Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I am having an audio problem of the same nature on 2 different systems. After installing a fresh copy on XP SP2 on one system and MCE 2005 on another system, and after installing all programs and apps, I do a reboot and hear at the "Windows is shutting down" screen an audio chime that lags and studders. I log back in and at the "Welcome" screen a chime is fine. I play a music file from either WMP 11 or iTunes and the audio will intermittingly studder and at times drag and stretch (best description). I have all updated BIOS setting and audio drivers from the manufacturer, and not from Windows Update. I tried a driver roll back with no luck. System Restore for me has been the most useless tool ever. Anytime I needed tor restore, even after creating a restore point, would ALWAYS come back with "Restoration Incomplete", so that was of no use. BTW, I uninstalled and reinstalled WMP 11, iTunes and the audio drivers, still the same problem. Since audio for both systems is onboard HD audio, I tried using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound card, same audio problem. Frustrated with this problem, I did another fresh install of MCE 2005 and still the same audio problem. I don't understand this issue as I have put together dozens of systems and never had an issue like this - 2 different motherboards (Intel and ECS), 2 different processors (P4 3.0g and Pentium 4 D 805), 2 different onboard audio codecs (Realtek and VIA Vinyl) 1 Soundblaster card, and still this lagging and stretching audio problem. ( I use "stretch" as best description same as playing a record album and using you finger to slow down the turntable, and thats the kind of audio "stretching" or "dragging" I would hear intermittingly.) Anyone with suggestions is greatly appreciated. Charlie
