there doesn't seem to be any kind of environment configuration. i also tried uninstalling the device and having windows reinstall, but the problem was still there. in device manager there is a listing for legacy audio drivers, as well as realtek high definition audio. does this have anything to do with the conflict? there doesn't seem to be a way to uninstall the legacy drivers, but could i somehow install different drivers in their place?
thanks for the help...

I had the exact same problem with a friend's Toshiba Satellite A105-S4014. XP had failsafed to PIO mode for both IDE channels. I'm not sure what caused this to happen, but after a general clearout I uninstalled both IDE channels then rebooted to force reinstall and everything is now hunky dory.

There must be a driver conflict if this is what is happening when you play music from your hard drive, if your playing from a cd make sure it's not an encrypted music file. Go to my computer icon, right click>properties>hardwrae tab>device manager, then go down the list to sound, video and game controllers, click the '+' sign, highlight realtek and then right click and select uninstal. Restart the system and the audio will automatically re install and use the appropriate driver, you should now have normal sound.

This must be a problem with the configuration utility. In some cases when using realtek or c-media or related products that come with a utility to help you change the environment, some environments may make you sound to be choppy. This may also be memory or processors speed that may not support that kind of configuration. Try opening the utility usually at the bottom right coner of the screen at the taskbar and try changing the environements.

Choppy Video? What do you mean choppy video? Is the video starting and stopping rather than playing continuous? If so, either you need more memory or the site you are watching the video from is slow. Also sometimes you line speed on the computer might be slow if you are watching the video online.

How does the video play if you played a DvD in your computer? If it plays the DvD without stalling, then your problem is more than like the site you are watching or the line speed as you stream the video.

No sound , sound drivers are working

Most common reasons for this trouble are:

Such kind of troubles arise after some device / software is installed which tries to gain control as default sound device.
Also while un-installation of certain softwares, some shared files are removed. At times some important shared file can be deleted which causes troubles with working of sound drivers.
While installing certain games, it tries to gain control of sound or video drivers and may accidentally harm these driver softwares.

Lets see the ways to fix such troubles

Step1 : First of all check what is your default audio device setting. For this, open Control Panel > Sounds and audio devices, open Audio tab as shown in picture below.

See that the Device selected is your sound-card or on-board audio device. It should not be blank or some modem device. Set the Default sound playback and sound recording device correctly from the drop down menu. If your device is not there in this list see the step 2.

Step2: If the step 1 is not successful, it means that your sound device driver software has become either corrupt or has been accidentally un-installed. In such case, install the sound driver from the sound-card/mother-board driver CD. You can also download the latest driver if you don’t have the driver CD. After you install the driver, restart your computer, and then check the settings as in step 1 again
