when i listen to music, it skips about a second randomly during songs. this happens about 2-10 times per song.

the problem started about a month ago and i dont remember changing anything about my computer when it started

Windows XP
Logitech z640 speakers
some crappy soundcard ive been using for about 2 years (could this be it?)
athlon xp cpu

please help!

I'd get a new soundblaster or something (you can get them for a little over 20 bucks nowadays, or cheaper if you care to make the Pricewatch dare). Time for an upgrade anyway

reinstall your drivers (if you ever even installed any)

that's all I got

wat else is ur comp doing except for playing music? it could just be running out of processing power...
ctrl+alt+del and check out ur processes and how much cpu% ur using

that and maybe what player are you using? this happened to me when I tried out Jet player but stopped when I went back to winamp

ill try reinstalling the drivers tonight. i dont think its the player because it happens on both winamp and wmp. thanks for the tips guys.
