Sounds playing accelerated

[mransolin]

Hallo,

I have an Windows 2000 Professional Workstation, working in a Compaq PIII 733 and it's playing all sounds accelerated in all programs, since a simple .wav to .mp3.
Somebody knows what is happen?
I was look the control panel and i tried to update the "AC'97 sound card" driver, alter the prefereed audio device and hardware acceletation but nothing changes.

Thank your attention,

Mauro Ransolin.

I think it is a driver issue...
I would remove the driver,
remove the card,
get the latest drivers,
plug-in the card, and install the latest drivers.
Also, make sure that there are no IRQ conflicts...
and by the way... there is a forum called MS Windows 2000 professional for questions about this Win2K version...

he said "since a simple .wav to .mp3" I'm guessing this is a conversion he is talking about. Like ripping wav files from a cd and then converting them to mp3's.

Your conversion process has probably been done wrong, Mauro. When you converted it, you probably did it with another program and messed with the config. Make sure it is set at 128kbps and 44hz. This will affect your speed. Sounds like a chimpmunks recording right? What program are you using for conversion? A good free program would be Audio Grabber, or try ripping songs directly into mp3 format instead of ripping wavs then going to mp3s. Save yourself a step.

Try downloading SP16988 from compaq. It is the soundmax driver. Works very good.
