Problems of slow performance in Vista when playing music with WMP 11

Whenever I'm playing music on WMP 11, my computer slows down briefly.

I assume this has something to do with my sound driver/card, but don't know what.

I use my PC sound card. I use the Logitech Z-5 speakers.

Please keep in mind that I have recently reinstalled Vista on this computer, and before replacing, I had no such problem. I currently use the same drivers I did then.

I have Vist Home Premium, 32-bit.

Hi EugeneGluskin

 

1. the music files that you play on the same computer or on a remote site?

2. do you have the updated drivers for the sound card?

3. What is the brand and model of the computer with sound card?

 

You can perform a clean boot and check if you are facing the same question to the clean boot. To perform the clean boot follow step 1 mentioned in the article below, and then try again check in the clean boot state -

If the problem is resolved check which service non-Microsoft is the source of the problem; referring to article and following the other steps.
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

a. Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

b. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option and then click OK.

c. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

I hope this helps.

  • Play music with Zire 72

    Anyone know how I can play music with my Zire 72 without having to sit on it to prevent it from turning automatically after 3 minutes?  I wish there was a way to disable the automatic stop device or extend at least to the point of the session you want to listen to music. I know that it protects all and all that, but it can autoshutoff when the battery is discharged to a certain percentage. I went to use it today while my dentist did a prank, but it only lasted 2 minutes because it is somehow got changed to setting.  Help!

    I worked and worked to understand how I could keep the thing from closing. My husband had a response to a search in google of setting of the autoshutoff to a high in suggestions but the higher number, you can go in zire 72 only goes to 3 minutes, so I thought what would happen if I went to but did not close the Preferences window and it worked. My zire 72 plays for more than half an hour now because I implemented in this way. I hope this helps others.

  • My sleekbook will not play music with cover closed!

    Hello, I just bought a sleekbook (amd model) and I have it configured on the computer that he didn't go to sleep when I close the lid, so I can listen to music while I was walking around, but for some reason some after a few seconds of it being closed, it always stops the music. So, I'd like some help how to solve this problem, what - is the audio beats stop?

    Nevermind, I had thought of it myself, backup HDD 3D sleekbooks notice of movements of the sleekbook, which the application stops everthing to prevent corruption, but as long as you play music and do not move much like a madman, then it's alright to turn it off.

  • ATV4, play music with TV

    Hello

    I think to buy an Apple TV Gen 4, but I was wondering if it is possible to play music without turning on my TV. In other words, I wish I could say the ATV to play music using my phone as a remote control without having to turn on the TV at any time.

    The reason why I have a concern about a requirement to have the screen on is the HDMI licensing restriction that blocks audio if the monitor is on, now that there are no optical output more.

    Thank you

    Users have experienced different results when you try to use the Apple TV for audio only. Some have found it works well, others have found that they need to have the TV on get audio and others have found that they need the TV to start with, but may turn off when the audio starts to play.

    I suspect these variations result from the type of connection that the TV offers and therefore may vary depending on the make and model of TV.

    I have a Sony Vaio F2 series laptop PC

    This happens especially when I'm streaming music via beatport or play via itunes. The song gets little choppy, then suddenly the computer shuts down. He sometimes goes to a brief blue screen other that's just turns off completely. I ran a system restore and uninstalled norton and installed most of the security and he has always done, so I uninstalled and installed avast and it always does... Computer seems to work very well when on Skype. Suggestions, I think it might be a sound driver and nothing serious.

    Hello

    1. do you get an error message?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue.

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Note: Please, go to step 7 of the Kb to maintain the computer to a normal startup after you fix the problem.

    Method 2:

    Try to update the graphics card in Device Manager. If the driver is up-to-date, you can also check with the manufacturer of the video card for the latest available drivers that are compatible Windows 7. For more information about updating a driver in Device Manager, see the link below:

  • Computer freezes (and screen changes colors) when playing games with Windows 7

    I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 view a month ago and since then I had problems. I'm going to play a game like Left 4 Dead 2, World of Warcraft, counter-strike: Source, etc and I suddenly freezes. My screen freezes and the colors a bit (some of the colors will turn red and some of the colors will turn to a brighter color, etc.). The sound will also freeze and repeat a few milliseconds what it was. My computer is plugged into a power bar and is kept nice and cold, with a fan who helps him at all times and my window still open - there is some dust out there but I don't think she'd cela.

    This happens maybe once or twice every two days, and it has never happened when I'm not in a game. It is not a memory problem, I'm only using about 2 GB, 3 GB when it arrives. I always end up having to press the power button on my computer to restart it.

    Help, please.

    Tyvak,
    The first suggestion that Aziz has is not the map upgrade but for the driver update.  After the upgrade to Windows 7, you must update all the drivers for your hardware (graphics, sound, NETWORK, card etc...).  The best way to do it is to go on the hardware manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers.  If you have a name brand PC (Dell, HP, etc.) then they usually all drivers for the hardware, but some (usually the drivers graphics) is perhaps not the most recent.  First, make sure that your drivers are up to date and then test the games.
