Well things were working just fine until I started thinking...

about using the Windows 98 upgrade..Since I installed it...horror show....Under Windows 95b things worked just fine....

Problem..both Winamp and Windows Cd player skip songs if a CD is being played in either one of them..The sound is terrible with a kind of static, noise sound when playing songs through the speakers..As I mentioned, they skip or freeze on cd's when playing songs...usually near the beginning or end of the cd's....Funny thing is the songs sound fine if I plug in headphones to my burner and play the songs without using the speakers..The connections to the speakers are fine though.I've heard that maybe a video card or Direct x problem could be responsible in part, but I'm not great with computers so I'll ask you folks....Here's basically what I have:

Windows 98 upgrade from Windows 95b
Crystal Semiconductor Audio chip
Direct X 6.0
Winamp 2.71
Windows 98 cd player
(problems identical in either winamp or cdplayer)

What should I adjust or look for....Is this a Driver problem?Direct X? System problem?Video card?Next time I start upgrading and tinkering someone whack me in the head....

Thanks folks

Kev
