It's a miracle! (My sound works now...)

I posted an issue that whenever I played or ripped any cd for around 5
minutes, the sound would go out completely. Even system sounds, it wasn't
just CD Rom playing that was cut off. Then after I rebooted everything was
ok, then I could download a zillion mp3s and listen all day long, no problem

I was told it's a resource issue (I only have 256mb of RAM) and a pent
549mhz intel. so I thought, I guess I better buy some memory cards

So basically, if I used the CD drive, there went the sound... Until TODAY...
I got a stero headset from logitech that plugs in the usb. (my other
headphones went right in the back of the computer since I am without desktop
speakers right now) and now, no more sound dropouts! I've been ripping and
listening to CD's all day and no problems! interesting...

I wonder why the change?

Whatever the reason I'm happy.

it works because your headphones are actually headphones plus a USB
"soundcard" audio device. Presumably your internal sound card's
faulty...

Probably stutters under heavy PCI bus usage.

Then do yourself a favour and make it a Mac. You can run Windows on it if you
really must and, bang-for-buck, they're cheaper than many PCs. Contrary to
popular belief, you really do get more for your money. For example, you have
to add £1,000 to the price of Dell's flagship XP notebook to upgrade it to
the same spec as a basic 17" Mac Book Pro.

People will tell you I'm lying, but I've done the maths myself.

Let me put my hipboots on.........
