I was playing around with Windows Media Player 10.0 and the funny thing
is that I get no stuttering whatsoever while playing an mp3 and signing
on or signing off AOL 9.0 SE. However, the stupid AOL sounds "Welcome.
You've got mail." and "Goodbye." sometimes stutter when I'm signing on
or signing off. Do you guys think it's the AOL 9.0 resource hog that
has some weird bug? I'm not getting any other sound issues with any
other application or games. What I don't understand is how my crappy
onboard sound has no problems with the AOL sounds and my PCI Santa Cruz
soundcard does. Go figure!
