media players lagging (solved)

Hey guys, I lately got a weird problem

all my media players lag and stutter at playing songs/videos till the complete stop. so far I tried this with winamp, windows media player and vlc! youtube and other flash videos work :s

Today I also overclocked my cpu (fx-8120) image: coretempscrq, could that cause it? I also reinstalled amd ccc

any ideas? Thanks in advance!

edit: iTunes works

edit2: iTunes and winamp skip songs/parts

Fixed it: -> got the stock drivers (sound and chipset) from the motherboard install cd, thanks for the ideas though!

look whos writing :>

you were brown-nosing me hard back in wnbpro, yet you accuse him of the same although he played once with me.

grow up kid.
Parent
brown-nosing? :D haha don't make yourself ridicilous

I always thought you're a shit engy and I told you that often enough and especially often discussed with you about your goldrush back rushes and you call that brown-nosing?
Parent
if that is brown-nosing for you then please buy the current edition of the urban dictionary in english.

Actually it is the difference of your behavior you had towards me and you have towards me now. I think you can put the puzzle together yourself now.

About the engi thing: You will find out someday (or not) what the command +expandmap does. And if you are really lucky, you will find out what 6on6 is all about.

btw: Did you never think of where my medic was? :)
Parent
ofc I know what brown nosing means, but I never acted asslicking towards you

the only reason I didn't treat you as I should have was because we already had enough dicussions in the team, but I simply tried to avoid getting in talk with you...

and yes I was your medic and I got the map binded on mouse4 and use it every 5-10 seconds, but if you rush without any mental activity and me being too far behind the outcome is obvious.

You will find out someday (or not) what the minimap does. And if you are really lucky, you will find out what ET is all about.

On a sidenote: I never said that he especially licks your balls, he licks the balls of 95% of the community though

I am a bad engi because I attack when I should, because the team pushes? Or are you a bad medic and too slow?

rly, blaming me for your fails, bold move.

we should have switched then you would have seen some impressive medic work.
Parent
the guy who goes first will always be faster as the medic can't predict every move of the eng, but feel free to check out some demos or replys and think of your opinion again. eventhough I got the strong feeling that you just don't want to loose in this dicussion eventhough you know you already did
Parent
discussions are not about winning or losing, maybe for you but if that is the case, then you put some "mental activity" into blaming other people for your mistakes or incompetence.

A medic has to be close to the engi and he has to keep him from being gibbed, besides that he should stay alive. So what was the hard part, gali? pretty easy things to think of and your mouse4 bind won't help there a lot :D what was the problem? I could show you how to be faster tho..

Hello,
In VLC open 'media' tab and choose Open Network Stream. In network tab check 'Show more options' and you should see 'Caching'. Put 500ms to it.

In Windows media player go Tools-> Options. Go to performance tab and under the 'Network buffering' choose Buffer and add value of 10.

This should help on streaming videos.

Disable unnecessary prgorams.
Set priority to real-time.
Decrease quality.
Also buggy graphic card drivers may cause such problems.
And yes, CPU affects on the video playback. Do you have high CPU usage while trying to play videos?


Also, what kind of files are you trying to play? .mp3? Are you possibly trying to play FLAC files?

Do you have a wireless connection?
lol you really think that is needed with a octocore.
performance is not the issue here there is one problem and the problem is between the desk and the chair.
Parent
oh you :p was really a bit stupid though that I didn't get to that idea faster
Parent
the drivers were the prob as mention above ^^ thanks man
Parent
Glad to help:)
Parent
HIRVI does it again!
set your cpu to stock speed and test again.
the funny thing was that the lags got different, but not better in any way :D
Parent
Lagging common problem and might be due to multiple reasons, 1. high end devices use more resources in playing video and audio so it affects the performance of your device. 2. another factor is the video file you are playing and the format it is in 3. lastly the codecs you are using to play the video file. to solve lag issue you need to adjust the codecs or try other formats also change the compatibility mode of the media player to windows xp.
