I'm having problems with the sound when I play DVDs! I get a stuttering sound while the picture seems perfect. I have tried a number of combinations of decoders but to no avail!

The strange thing is while using WinDVD 8 it all works perfect.

Anyone who has any clue about what could be causing this? (It's actually the same problem in Mediacenter aswell)

Thanx!

PS Problem solved! It was due to a poor DVD writer DS

I have noticed another strange thing about this problem. When playing .iso files of DVD movies the sound is perfect in MP?

I had stuttering sound on xvids with the Realtek drivers for my MSI board. I didn't try DVDs. Reinstalling the drivers solved it.
