DirectX 8.0, Win2k, and WinAMP 2.7 and 2.7.1

15th December 2000, 10:49

Hello all,

Wondering if anyone is having trouble with the above mentioned situation?

My specs follow:
PIII 800
256MB PC133 RAM
ASUS MB
40 gig HD (Mp3's reside on)
10 gig HD (windows on)

I have tweaked winamps settings, and using a 7000ms buffer, time critical priority, and a 56k max block size, basically made the skipping issues go away, but it still happens ever 30-50secs. quite annoying. I thought it was a resource conflict with my sound card at first, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am wondering if it might be DirectX 8.0, since I was using 2.7 before with directX 7.1a (I think, whatever comes with 2k natively), and it worked beautifully with default settings. Soooo... I'm looking for comfirmation...

Thanks all...
