gilmoregirls Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Why cant I listen to winamp when I download with utorrent. The sound is extremely choppy, and it's strange since utorrent takes so little processor power and memory. Is it all the disc writes/reads? I don't even use the same disc for utorrent and my musicfiles. Or does utorrent use the same disk windows is on even if I don't save my files there? Can I change that?I wonder if my computer is f** up rigth now, 99% processor even when I close utorrent.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Set winamp's priority to realtime in its preference.Check for problems with your antivirus and firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmoregirls Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 This seems to have something to do with the CPU spiking thing I just replied too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 It's probably due to the Unicode support that was added. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miffo Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Set winamp's priority to realtime in its preference.Check for problems with your antivirus and firewall.Dont ever set any process to realtime..Increase priority instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Your anti-virus is probably the most likely culprit, followed by your firewall.http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_softwareThere may be others. Tell us which ones you have if it's none of the ones in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I wonder if my computer is f** up rigth now, 99% processor even when I close utorrent....ur computer is f***ed up..the problem is not utorrent.. check which process takes so much power. even if u set something to realtime that won't help since the cpu is completely reserved from that process taking so much cpu powerMiffo that's the priority (Low, BelowNormal, Normal, Above Normal, High, Realtime) !

Firon Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Shitty motherboard drivers can cause it (especially the IDE drivers); having the drive set to PIO does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 still haven't addressed the issue of AV/firewall, I would say that is probably it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 see which process it taking so much power in the task manager! then we'll tell u what to do.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledgeDG Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I'm with Firon here...check if your harddrives are accessed in PIO mode and if so, set them back to DMA. Leave Winamps Process Priority alone, rather use a bigger bufferIf nothing else helps in your case, abandon winamp and get apolloWhat's the big deal for fancy skins anyways...most of the time Winamp runs minimized since you're doing s/th else on your system-DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosblade Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 foobar indeed.Is this a onboard audio chip? If so, It's definitly due to drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
