Static, popping, various audio dysfunctionality using some a/v appsbut not others
I'm having a problem I've never encountered before. I find that when I
play video and audio with Windows Media Player various static & popping begins to show up in the audio - though the video plays okay, or on audio-only files sometimes even outright failure to do anything. The progress bar moves but no audio. If I bring up WMP first thing after a reboot, it appears to behave normally for a while. Plays .mp3, .wav, DV .avi, .mpg. However, at some point it starts displaying the symptoms spontaneously. It did it playing through a playlist of 44.1 16 bit .wav files. Played through about the first 3 or 4 okay, but then the problem developed when it transitioned to a subsequent track. Never had this problem before in 98, 98SE, XP Home, XP Media Center. Currently using WMP 11 but it also occurs in the default version that comes with XP Pro. I also find that if it's showing up in WMP it also shows up in Kmedia player and in Pinnacle Studio 9 (video editing app). I don't get these symptoms playing video with Virtualdub and Vegas Pro8 (video editing apps) or in Cakewalk and SoundForge (audio editing apps that will also play video). I don't have to bring up WMP first, it will develop in Kmedia and Pinnacle as well so it seems there's some common link. Also don't have any problems playing online video on YouTube etc. I tried uninstalling WMP and reinstalling, seemed to work at first but then developed the same issue. Tried a reinstall of Windows, still have the problem. It used to work fine on this same version of Windows, with the exact same hardware. Where I first noticed it was actually on a dedicated player that played DRM .wmv that was downloaded to play freebie video from PNY that was included as a premium when buying some memory recently. This required both the installation of the dedicated player and Silverlight. But a subsequent reinstallation of Windows hasn't fixed the problem. Tried reinstalling the Audigy PlatinumEX soundcard, still no change. Any assistance will be appreciated. |
