CatKnight Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 I just installed windows 2000 pe and winamp (lite) and all my mp3's occasionally skip or have static in them! i tried using direct sound out and wave out, and i have dx8a installed and the newest win2k drivers for my sb live. its weird because there is no pause when it skips, it just goes forward a quarter of a second or so.

Mike... the real one Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 Did you try playing mp3 with an other reader...Like windows media player? If yes, are the results the same? If they are, I would suggest to contact creative labs, they may have seen this problem before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janko10 Posted February 14, 2001 Share Posted February 14, 2001 i'm afraid that this seems to be a problem with alot of win2k and winamp users. myself and about ten other people, all with sblive's, no matter what drivers we have installed, it skips quit frequently. your best bet is to check out winamp.com and head over to the message boards. don't bother posting, just search winamp and win2k, there are alot of posts on it. You can download a different waveout i think, i can't remember, or there is some other fix that you can try, but no guarrantees. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJediMaster Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Try going into the preferences for winamp and set the output plugin to the 'waveOut' plugin. This solved the skipping problem for me. If the problem still occurs try going into the config and change the buffer length to 4000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damin69 Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 I belive the problem lies within the newer versions of Winamp.. I am useing V2.64 and do not have a problem with any skippine or static on any of my 1500+ MP3s. Have been running the live with Win2k Since last Feb release of Win2k. ------------------ If its not BROKE you are not doing it right!

CatKnight Posted February 16, 2001 Author Share Posted February 16, 2001 i have another weird problem. even though my cd drive audio cable is connected to the cd digital port, in my volumecontrol cd digital does nothing and cd analog controls the volume. i do have digital cd audio enabled.

janko10 Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 just because you have cd digital enabled and have it connected, doesn't mean its supported by your drive. anyway, alot of drives don't even send the audio thru the cable anymore, most of its transferred over the bus, be it ide or scsi. the regular cd volume would probably control it no matter what, digital or analog.

CatKnight Posted February 16, 2001 Author Share Posted February 16, 2001 well it worked in 98. i had the same wires hooked up except that the volume control for cd digital controlled the cd music volume, and not the analog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
