Buffer Intermitant Sound

dmode172002 · 2nd June 2002, 14:18

Please help, I keep lossing my sound when listening to the radio, and the buffer is displayed with numbers 1to100%. The sound is like someone pulling the speaker wires in and out, any suggestions.

Sounds like your connection can not support the bitrate you are trying to listen to. What type of connection do you have (i.e. 56K, DSL, cable modem, etc.)?

56k external modem

Stick to stations broadcasting at 48 kbps or lower, any higher then that and your connection will not be able to handle it. Even at 48kbps you may experience buffering.... I would stick to 32 kbps or less just to be safe (perhaps even lower if you're downloading a bunch of stuff at the same time).
