MP3 Players

[Seebald]

Since I installed Creative MediaSource and every other software that came with the Zen Micro MP3 Player, all played music and SFX sounds like a skipping needle. Also some programs (games) are slowing down. Does anyone know something about that?

[Seebald]

I should add, that I'm using a AC'97 Audio mainboard integrated soundcard.

Is it only when MediaSource is running, or when the Micro is attached?

Check in Device Manager for any IRQ clashes between your on-board Sound and your USB ports.

Nope, the problem exists always 24/7, even after I uninstalled Creative MediaSource Organizer and the other programs that came with the player.

The device manager shows no conflicts between any two devices (nothing marked red). Where should I check for IRQ clashes?

The skipping of music is most likely caused by the lagging of the computer. Resolve this by probably increasing your RAM.

 If your player works fine when not connected on the computer, then it confirms that there is nothing wrong with your player

I know there's nothing wrong with the player. But I'm almost definetly sure that something in the PC-Software that came with it caused my Computer to "lag". I got 512 MB RAM and never had this problem before. So I'm trying to track the thing that caused it down and remove it.

Ok, guys I found a problem: I got a busted hard drive, and the MP3s I loaded to it that day might just have caused it to break down at last.
