WMP 11 - Photo Gallery sound skipping issues

[Tim]

Hi,

When I have music playing in wmp 11 and I browse through pictures in the
photo gallery, the sound skips pretty bad and the computer lags a bit trying
to display the pictures.

I was already having some other sound issues and I disabled all enhancements
in the sound properties. It is a Dell e1505 laptop with Sigmatel HD Audio.
Disabling all enhancements fixed my other issue (ventrilo acting all weird)
but did nothing for this.

Computer specs are.. C2D t7200, 2gig ram, radeon x1400, sigmatel hd audio.
Vista home premium SP1.

Has anyone experienced this or have a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Doh, I completley forgot about all of those settings in WMP.. I will give
this a shot and reply with the results.

Hi tim,
when you disabled all the enhancements did this include those in WMP11
or just the ones relating to the sound driver? have seen the sound
quality bug in a few systems now and have found that on some machines
you have to disable the WMP11 enhancement [equaliser, etc.] or the
Driver related ones, and on some machines only disabling both will cure
the problem.

not much but may help I hope

Nigel,

I was unable to find any of the settings you mentioned. I found Audio DSP
or something similar, but there was nothing on for that. Any other
suggestions?

Thanks,
Tim

Nigel,

Unfortunately I was unable to locate any settings for the EQ. I saw Audio
DSP in the plugins, but nothing was listed. Could you point me in the right
direction? Thanks.
