Hi there, I really hope some of you can help me out on this little problem.
First of all I have never had any problems before with playing my movies - ac3, xvid U name it - but recently I reinstalled Windows XP with SP2 and now I have this problem:
The movies are playing fine and the sound works perfectly, and then suddenly the sound (not the picture) stops for a split of a second – just a split of a second like it loses the signal from my computer – and then it continues like nothing had happened and it’s not out of sync or anything at all. It happens so many times throughout a movie and it drives me mad because I can’t find the reason and therefore not a solution.
My specs:
Player: WinDVD with “Digital (S/PDIF) out to external receiver†selected.
Sound Card: SB 5.1 live with “Digital output only†selected in the Creative Surround Mixer while I’m watching movies. I’m using a special manufactured coax cable with gold heads plugged into “digital out†on my sound card and into the digital coax input on my receiver.
Codec installed: SLD Codec pack 1.5.3.
Video Card: Asus GF 4 TI 4200 with 128 MB ram and TV-out.
OS: Windows XP professional with SP2.
My system is a XP1800+ with 512 MB ram, 2 x 80 GB HDD and it runs smoothly so I don’t think the problem lies here.
As I said have been using the configuration before the reinstall without any problems and I am no newbie regarding hardware and software. Gspot also tells me the correct codecs are installed and if they weren’t the movie and sound wouldn’t be playing perfectly either. It’s just sometimes it stops besides that it works perfect.
If any of you have experienced the same thing or some of you proffs. have an idea about what’s
causing this or just think you might have a solution, I would be really, really glad to hear from you.
Best Regards.
