Sound

Anybody else getting bad sound? This is the first VM I've installed that didn't just use the host's sound. I had to get a driver thru windows update.

The sound skips and jerks and pops and sounds like I'm trying to listen to an old LP that the kids have played frisbee with.

I've tried Winamp, Irfanview, Media Player Classic, WMP, and Media Center. They all sound nasty.

A quick google shows a lot of people having a similar problem but I couldn't fiind a solution. Geez, even talk radio sounds like the speakers are blown.

All my system sounds are distorted but I tried a couple of media files and they seem ok. I hadn't been using it to view media because of lack of codecs and RAM but besides visible symptoms of low resources the movie sound is ok.

No problems at all with my Creative X-Fi, music or anything else. But that needs the Creative drivers to work anyway.

On a related note, anyone know where visualisations in Media Player went? :confused:

sounds are ok for me

sparks, under options in media it says i have 3 installed i just cant turn them on

visualisations

Alt key, Tools, Plugins, options.

i had to click the little box in the right bottom the screen goes to a black player and then click bottom bar and then pick your visulation, i have it going now

Figured it out.

View, Now Playing, R-click the screen and select what you want.
Got lucky. I was in library mode.

They hid that well didn't they? :rolleyes:

Thanks guys :)

Hide it, you bet!

in the visualation click on the one that says info center view, that is a good visulation
