Update re Sound Stutters
Following on from the earlier thread about my sound problem, I have
completed a clean install of WinXP Home as a dual boot using Acronis boot manager. With only WinXP and the newly installed Audigy2NX USB sound card running (on board sound disabled in Bios and no drivers for it installed) the problem is exactly the same - all sounds are grossly distorted. No problems in XP device manager, all drivers WINXP certified. Could there be a component on the motherboard MSI 875PNeo that could be causing this? As far as I can tell everything else on the PC works perfectly in WinME. I haven't installed anything else on XP yet. Any further help gratefully received. Stephen |

Update re Sound Stutters
Oh dear - this does look, in this case, as if it's a hardware problem.
Which slot is the sound card in? - try moving it away from the AGP slot, as these are sometimes locked together. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Stephen" wrote in message ...

Update re Sound Stutters
The sound card is a USB device, not a PCI card. I chose this option
because I couldn't get either a Trust or a Creative PCI sound card to work, or the onboard sound. Stephen Noel Paton wrote: Oh dear - this does look, in this case, as if it's a hardware problem.

Update re Sound Stutters
Ah..........has the 'onboard' sound been disabled?? There may be a conflict
between the onboard sound and the USB device. The disabling of the onboard sound may be as simple as changing/adding a strap to your MOBO or a setting in the BIOS, check with your MOBO maker to be sure.

Ooops! - forgot it was a USB card...... in XP, does the USB port it's
plugged into show as being USB2 or 'std' USB?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Stephen" wrote in message ...

Update re Sound Stutters
Just a thought, from
http://www.creative.com/products/pro...t=910 3&nav=4 Under *Minimum* Requirements, although it states that it is WinMe compatible, it goes on to somewhat ambiguously say :- Available USB port (USB 2.0 port required for USB 2.0 support) Is it 'fully' compatible with USB 1.1 ? Does the user manual/help/support offer any further advice? Do you have USB 2.0 on your PC ? If not, it might be worth/necessary to fit a PCI - USB 2.0 card. Won't do any harm anyway, especially with a couple of (much) faster USB ports g Just a thought g Mart "Stephen" wrote in message ... Thank you for your reply.

Update re Sound Stutters
I have USB 2 on both ME and XP.
The device is connected to the Enhanced USB controller via a USB composite device. The user manual does not offer any help and the Creative diagnostics programme that came with the device shows no errors. The Creative web site didn't offer much help either.
