Sorry my first post is a plea for help, but if it's any consolation I've been lurking awhile. That being said:
I have a P5B-E, Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, an X-Fi Extremegamer and an ATI X800XL, running Vista Business. Nothing astounding. I am having an impossible-to-track problem with sound--every 60 seconds or so, the audio glitches up (slows down and stutters) for between .5 to 2 seconds. It then clears up. This occurs no matter what I'm playing sound from, and removing the X-Fi didn't help (the onboard HD audio still did it.) It's not my speakers, as I hear the same problem over my headphones. A few people using either XP 64 or Vista release candidates were able to track a similar problem down to faulty RAID drivers, but I'm not running a RAID setup. Does anyone have any ideas for me to pin this problem down?
