I am having the same problem but it doesn't work on my SoundBlaster Audagy 2ZS because my dectalk does the same. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon C.

Hi, Are the acceleration settings for playback set to maximum? StartMenu, settings, control panel, hit enter on sounds and audio, control tab to the Audio tab, press the Sound Playback Advanced button, control tab to the Performance tab and move the sliders to increase your performance?

I recently upgraded to Windows XP and since then I have a weird sound problem I hope someone can help me with. When there is some stronger system sound or when I play files online (sites such as Myspace or YouTube) the quality of JAWS gets lower; it's as if it was in sample rate of 22 kHz instead of 44 kHz. Then when I close the playing sites or the system sound finishes it gets back to normal. Now I noticed it also happens when I change the Winamp output to something else than the DirectSound output: as soon as I start playing a file JAWS quality gets worse but when I pause or stop it it gets back to normal. I have Windows XP Professional, SB Live 5.1 and JAWS 4.51; I first thought it was a JAWS problem and shortly tried version 7 and experienced the same, then I haven't kept the newer version for now due to the lack of space on my system HD, also JAWS 7 still doesn't have translations for Czech so I've kept this older version for now instead. When I had the very same programs in Windows 98 I never had these problems with JAWS, only now that I upgraded to XP; so I can only suspect it has something to do with the soundcard vs the system since both versions of JAWS I tried should be compatible with XP, right? Any ideas if there is some way to fix it? Thank you very much in advance.
