Once in a while, during music playback the sound goes into a chattering effect. I have shut off all windows system sounds to see if there was any conflict there, but it still happens, also have disabled all sound proccessing plugins in Winamp to eleminate any effect they have but still happens. To stop the chattering effect I have to stop the song and restart or somestimes switch to the next song start it then switch back to the song I was listening to.
The chattering is like it is resampling the song and stacking it on the first sample but multiple times. basicly a loop effect but the song continues to play, just sounds like chipmonk with hiccups.
Couple of thoughts come to mind here.
1) Is is exclusive to a particular song(s), or will it happen on various files?
2) Does this happen only with Winamp, or does it happen if you play those songs in another media player?
3) Does it happen only when you’re running Breakway? If so, you might need to increase the buffer size in Breakaway.
4) If it happens even when Breakaway isn’t open and running, I’d look for other processes that might be monopolizing system resources. Open and watch the "processes" tab in Windows Task Manager to see if there’s a CPU spike that corresponds with the chattering audio.
5) If there is a CPU usage issue, you can identify what’s causing it by downloading and running a utility from Microsoft called "Process Explorer", available from CNET here: http://download.cnet.com/Process-Explor … 23605.html
6) Anti-virus scans and automatic software updates are probably the most common Windows resource hogs, but if you discover through Process Explorer that it’s a hardware issue, go through and make sure you have the most up-to-date drivers for your hardware devices, including video drivers and wireless controllers.
Let us know if any of that panned out? 🙂

So far everything points to a Winamp problem. It hasn’t done it in Windows Media Player.
