ATI HDTV Wonder Choppy Audio After Changing the Channel

[george]

I am currently having trouble with choppy/broken audio after changing
the channel (but not sub-channel, for example 8.1 to 8.2!). Sometimes
I can resolve this by going in and out of full screen mode, but not
always. What always works (so far at least) is shutting down the DTV
application and bringing it back up.

I had my HDTV Wonder on an older MSI Intel P4 1.6GHz, AIW 9800 AGP, CL
Audigy system, and didn't experience this problem. A couple days ago I
built a new system, and transferred the card. It's a MSI PCIe/SLI
AMD64 3MHz, PNY NVidia 6600GT, onboard CL Live! 24-bit solution. I
believe I have all the latest updates and drivers (for sure the sound,
and NVidia, and ATI drivers).

I asked ATI for help, and that has not proven to be productive to date.
The current system is useable for sure, but not as conveniently as I
would like. Any ideas please?

Also, all other audio functions work well, including analogue TV, DVD,
and WMV HD (which is pretty fantastic, IMHO).

Best regards,

George

FYI, ATI has acknowledged the choppy sound issue.

BTW, I returned the PNY 6600GT video card, and bought a ATI X800XL PCIe
card instead. I definitely prefer the ATI card over the PNY. My
subjective impression is it has better quality video with my ViewSonic
P95f, runs more quietly, and is a faster card for most applications,
all for $50 more at Fry's.

Best regards,

FYI, ATI has acknowledged the choppy sound issue.

The sound can be synchronized by hitting the pause button(space bar), then
hit it again. Sound will straighten out.

This works! Thanks.

Too bad the ATI knowledge base article didn't mention this (see
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894)
