My girlfriend has a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop and whenever she plays audio directly from the HD it's all choppy/lagged out. However, when she plays audio from a cd in the dvd burner, audio is fine as long as she don't do much.

Is this a cpu problem where it's not able to handle the load as it's only a Celeron 3ghz I believe she has?
 
If she uses windows media player and has the visualizations on there might be a drain on the laptop, ie the graphics are draining on the over all performance , what does she use to play music?

Maybe try something like winamp or try shutting down the stupid graphics windows media player uses if thats the case.
 
3ghz should fly along. Have you tried updating the driver? Check the manufacturers website.
 
My question is what kind of music files are they and what is the bit rate. Also, did you try other types of media players ??
 
She's tried both WMP and WinAMP without visualizations turned on. She hasn't tried any other players.

The music files are mp3 and the bitrate of the songs vary from 128 - 256.

Correction on the cpu speed as it's a 2.6ghz Celeron.

She has 512mb ram.

She has installed the current audio driver on Dell's website for the Dimension 3000.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
