    Choppy audio on Vista?

    I just got a brand-new computer with Vista installed. Overall everything is working right... my music is fine, most videos are fine... but my videos from one particular source have choppy audio and I cannot figure out why. I've tried two different packages of codecs and neither of them seem to work. This video source seems to work fine on my XP machine and nobody else can seem to replicate the issue. So something is up with my codecs?

    Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me nuts.

    The specs are as follows:
    - HP Pavilion Elite m9500t PC
    - Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
    - Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad processor Q8200 [2.33GHz]
    - SAVE $40! 6GB DDR2-800MHz dual channel SDRAM [2x2048,2x1024]
    - 500GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
    - 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter]
    - LightScribe 16X max. DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive
    - LAN port on system board (10/100/1000Base-T), no wireless LAN
    - 15-in-1 memory card reader, 2 USB, 1394, audio, video (for TV Tuner)
    - Dual (2) TV tuners, dual format ATSC-NTSC, PVR, 1 FM tuner, remote
    - Integrated 7.1 channel sound with front audio ports


    While I'm at it... the computer is not recognizing the DVD drive either. Doesn't even give the DVD option inside the device manager. The only solution I can find online is to open up the box and reseat the drive. Does that sound right?

                XP has the same issue with it actually. Sly it could be a problem with indexing the drives. There are too many various issues that can cause choppy sound to make a guess really. Could be a hardware or driver issue, or spyware even causing it. You will have to narrow it down a bit. See whats going on while the choppiness is happening.
