I have the Vista Home Premium o/s. It takes 30 seconds to play the song once
it is clicked-on. Also sometimes the audio is choppy. I never had these
problems with my old Xp o/s even on an older less powerful box.

Hi Folks,

I have the similar situation.

I'm running Vista Home Premium on a dual core machine with 2gig of DDR2 ram.

My problem is that when I play an album or playlist of MP3's through either
WMP or MC they play fine until 20 secs before the end of the track, although
with that long delay at the beginning. . At about this point, there's a
couple or 3 stutters as if the PC was "getting the next track ready"

Other players play fine, ie the otherwise awful Sonic Stage and so on.

I've looked through the options and can't see anything adrift.

Help please !!!

What audio card do you have? I'm betting it has a buggy Enhancement that
you really want to turn off.

Vista uses a newer driver from your audio card provider. That helps
eliminate a large class of XP driver errors, but some of the new
Enhancements and whatnot are still ... young and problematic.
