problem with core2duo

[ayush_chh]

three of my friends bought a core2duo and 512MB DDR2 recently.....there's a problem. whenever they play music and copy something together, system cannot play song well...IS this the problem with core2duo OR some settings must be changed ? please help...

Are they usin Vista beta?

 

[ayush_chh]

no not at all. they r usin XP pro

It maybe some sound driver issue or something else, but defenitely not of proccy.
*Such issues are not due to proccys
*C2D is one of the best multithreading CPU around nd is never prone to this type of complaints.
*Might be issue of music player, try different player.
*Update mobo nd sound drivers from net

make sure they have updated sound driver,and prefer to play songs in WMP.

There may be many cause behind it......does ur sound card support ur speaker..and many more.

I think you should 1st see whether the DMA is enable or not... 2nd start up the Task Manager and see if there is any unusual process taking high resources... if yes trace that, and if a virus/spyware/any such clean it...

Post back,...

DMA is on in WinXP by default. update the sound driver & don't play wma in latest version of winamp. It has high CPU usage problem

 

[ravi_9793]

I think I have got ur solution.
Yes...@saurav_cheeta is right...........there may be some process who are eating the system resuorce.

Do one thing,and post the result here.In the icon tray (botton right)....exit the intel sound maneger (sound effect).I think it will solve ur problem.
Do let me know the result.....

Let me guess .. copying something from the cd/dvd drive ?? .. which mobo ?? Could be missing jmicron drivers

This is an interesting post...I'm eager to see the solution to this problem.

@deathvirus_me
all of them use SAMSUNG DVD writer or combo drive
__________
this does not happen with 1 GB RAM
__________
mobo is some intel 945 chipset...

 

[darklord]

Care to mention the mobo ?

 

[ayush_chh]

Gigabyte 945gz

Like I said above, first upgrade the sound card drivers. Install latest directX & check which songs they are? could be a decoder problem
