Has anyone seen clipping of short audio files when played on Windows
Vista? It sometimes sounds like the files are "skipping." I've read a
number of posts about this, but none of the fixes seem to help.
I've uploaded some sample files and I'm looking for people to tell me
if they are having the same problem on their machines.
The end of this file clips on WMP Vista:

This file has a little silence added to the end and plays fine:

I could just add silence to my files like I did above, but I need to
maintain 20+ language training applications - each of which has
thousands of short utterances. I don't want to be forced to do such an
ugly hack just to support Vista.
Several other people have suggested downloading new drivers and
disable all audio enhancements, but that hasn't helped. And the
problem isn't just on RealTek and SigmaTel audio drivers - I've seen
it on my Creative X-Fi card as well with brand new drivers. I've
validated this error on a number of machines and with Vista SP1.
Can anyone help me out? This is very frustrating and I need a better
solution.
