Audio skipping during gameplay
Can someone help... when I am playing a game the audio skips on and off during the video cut scenes of some games. Sound plays fine while actually in the game except for Doom 3. Its sort of like watching an old kung fu movie. I have a dell dimension 2400. About 1gig or ram , and an Nvidia mx 4000 video card.

- Yeah.. I know its not the best system but still the audio skipping in some of the games is not right. What can I do short of spending as much as you have. The system doesn't skip audio during "Far Cry" but will do so for a 2001 game , like the "Star Wars, Battle for Naboo". Which makes me think its missing something it needs to work right. Resources are limited here! All of my PCI slots are filled, or I would add a sound card.. and I really need the stuff I already have installed.Will it help if I reduce the color or graphics....Be kind,,,, I am new to this.
- well well well.. it's doesn't happen in far cry.. now that's surprising =P(it doesn't even runs on my compaq xD)...that's interesting...why ur pci slots are full? let;'s see you have a modem and video card... what;s on the third slot? also.. you know... i'm really surprised that it runs far cry... well.. on those games where the sound would skip.. check downgrading the graphic quiality for those games and post the results..
The third slot has a dc10plus video capture card in it. I use it to convert VHS to DVD. It takes about an 3 hours to convert an hour of analog to digital which is about average. I tried messing around with different screen resolutions and refresh rates. I also tried messing around with the compatibility wizard for Midnight Club II, but nothing did any good. If I go out and get an outside sound card that connects with USB I may end up with the same lag... or would this bypass the onboard sound processor ???. I wonder.
Is there something I missed? Is there some way to downgrade the graphics quality through the video card that I missed ?
And really... Far Cry runs great...

Thanks I am going to give it a try. I did break down and by a sound card...just a creative ... 5.1. I am going to pull the modem card. I have an external modem from USRobotics. its a sportster 33.6 faxmodem.. which is ok since I only use my modem for faxing any way. I just need to find a driver for this thing . I will probably spend some time on line tonight looking for it.
I will keep you posted.
Thanks again.
- Thanks I'll check them out.... man I am a little lost here. I put in the sound card, disabled the drivers for the on board card and guess what. Same problem... still skipping...Looks like I wasted my cash.One good thing though... the US Robotics fax modem ended up being plug n play. And to be honest I like the new sound card any way... but what am I going to do about this sound skipping. Its really bugging me.
