Hi everyone, Maybe someone can help me with a problem.
I have a Dell 4500 less than a year old. Win XP and Soundblaster card.
A couple of months back I had to replace the hard drive. I did the
replacement and software reinstall myself. Everything worked fine
before the replacement.
The sound card or drivers must be messed up. When the computer starts
up sometimes its fine, sometimes the 'opening' music plays and other
times it doesn't. Then if I get new mail, the New Mail message usually
skips and goes too fast. I just tried playing a CD and it is doing the
same thing. Speeds up, slows down, and has 'skip pops' while playing.
I have a DVD drive and a CD burner in it. The cd does the same thing in
either drive so I know it is not a drive problem. It does the same thing
with Windows media player or Winamp.
I have tried reloading the Soundblaster CD drivers. Either it didnt
work or I didnt do it correctly, or thats not the problem.
I can't listen to my music this way.
Any ideas, Thanks Rich
