I recently purchased a computer with an Asus Tusi-M sicket 3 motherboard, SiS 630ET AGP Chipset. I have an Intel P3 1gig CPU and 256mg SDRAM. Operating system windows 98, 20gig HD. My problem is with the sound and playing MP3 format. I have tried the onboard mp3 player, media player 7 and even Xing Mp3 player (seperately of course!) and the problem occurs with all of them. It plays exactly six mp3's out of the library and then although the program continues to run there is no sound at all. What I need to know is if this is a software problem or a problem with the onboard sound. If it is the board I am sunk, as within weeks of purchasing this system from MPC in South Africa they were taken over by Sahara who refuses to honour any guarantee (guess who won't do business with them!). Please could you advise me as not a single expert I have turned to here has any idea what could be causing this. It does NOT occur when playing a CD, only mp3's. Many thanks. = Regards, Misty misty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Only after the last tree has been cut down, = only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught and eaten - only then will you find that money cannot be eaten" = CREE NATIVE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHY http://www.carecentre.org.za To unsub or change your email settings: http://www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ http://www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
