Music Skips in WMP 11

Hi all:

On my laptop when I am playing music in WMP 11, no matter how many or few
otehr programs are running the music skips right near the end of every song
I play (and sometimes at other places). The laptop is a new Dell XPS M1530
with a Intel Core Duo 2.4 processor, 4 GB of RAM, etc., etc. so I doubt it
is a performance issue.

Can anyone tell me some settings I can check to try to determine why this is
happening?

Thanks.

John.

You probably have a Sigma Tel audio adapter -- this is a well known issue with
the current Sigma Tel drivers.

CHECK the "Disable All Audio Enhancement" checkbox on the Enhancements tab of
the Speaker's properties page in Control Panel (Classic view) > Sounds >
Playback devices.

NOTE: You can find guided help for this procedure when you search Vista's Help
and Support for "audio skipping".

Thank you for the information and yes, I do have that device so I am reading
all about this right now.

You're welcome.

You might also want to check frequently to see if Sigma Tel has an updated
driver so that you do not have to use this workaround.
