Hoster Skipping/studdering

[RandyMcCharles]

Just using an audio out jack. I am using the MTU notebook as configured by MTU. No changes. The audio drivers seem a bit hocky as they assume you can use the input and output for either input or output. (Possibly with other hardware you can.) When I reported this last year MTU suggested updating the audio drivers, but they were current.

Sorry I can't think of an answer for you regarding the sound card apart from making sure the connection lead jack input or the cable as a whole is making good connection if you say it occasionally gives this connection message. Have you tried alternative cable ?

regarding Skipping, I see you say you are using notebook as configured, does this mean you do not have an external hard drive attached for your music files ?

Have probably said this to you before but have you recently defraged and checked the internal har drive ?

Thanks for spending time on this, Roy.
I have tried several different cables. I also occasionally use these cables elsewhere without problems.
I don't use an external drive with my notebook. I can fit my music files with 25% free disk. I can try defragging, though I don't think this is the issue as I don't recycle the disk space much. (I just occasionally add more music files and rebuild the songs database.
I do use an external drive with my desktop system, which is where I import new songs and create songbooks, and I don't have the stutter problem on that system (also XP).
