Lately my media player is skipping like a scratched CD WTF is going off there then?

Any ideas? Im stumped!

 

I've had this but always assumed it was just dodgy recordings.

 

Deffo not chop i know these have played fine before! Strange!

 

up

 

could be your PC running out of resources... have you got loads of stuff open when you're playing the music?

 

got to be a conflict going on somewhere, what security are you running?, any fresh programs installed recently?

 

Im running AVG antivirus, but always have and not had this problem. What ive noticed is that it is doing it only near the very end of each song

 

I fnd media player crap.

VLC player plays most stuff, and is quite good.

 

no one?

 

I noticed mine doing the same Lee.... just about the last 20 seconds or so. No idea what it was, havent used MP for a while now.

 

Yeah about that for mine mate.

Switch to what? realplayer?

As danneth and Stevie says, VLC player is the one.

I also find the sound is better on VLC aswell, plus you have an option to sync if the dodgy dvd's are out of sync.

 

VLC

Thats a quality player, plays EVERYTHING with no stupid codex to download.

 

I just started playing on youtube instead while browsing the net. I put all my music on an external HD and its never plugged in to the laptop.

 

Control Panel - Sounds - Speakers - Enhancements - Disable all sound effects.

Fixed mine

 

Thing is though, if his computer is having issues then no amount of different players will fix these.

Do you use www.ccleaner.com?

Try that, then a defragment of your hard drive, should speed things up a bit!

 

Rich I ran Ccleaner, defragged and ran as few programmes as possible. Doing as Ive just said above sorted it though. Apparently a lot of people suffered with the same problem after one of the windows updates. I think it only happens to Vista users.
