Sound hiccup - movies.

[Jahren]

Hi,

I searched through the forums for this problem and found many instances of it without solutions. I would like to know if anyhow can help me with this one...

Sound is fine except in movies.
intro movies are fine until the game's movie

this is where it starts tickling, *tik tik tik* hiccuping if you prefer.
it's getting somehow annoying ! you would guess ehe

how about a 'lil help here! thanks!

DXdiag is attached

The only "old" software seems to be the chipset software. You might check with intel.com to see if there's an update.
I trust you have tested different audio options choices in the game, ie stereo, mono, system config, eax, etc.?
I've installed Miles and Bink on my computer. I'm not sure it had an effect but many games do use them for the movies.

You might Ctrl + Alt + Del to run task manager before you play .
Click the Processes Tab then Click User Name
Close all non critical System and User .Exe's
Google anything running to find out what it does first
Don't kill anything till your sure you don't need it
never kill explorer.exe you need it
This will free up system resources
Don't bork your system & good luck
