from another forum (fruity loops, to be exact), i received the advice:
works fine.Quote:
press F10 and go to the audio tab, slide your buffer up until the file plays smoothly.
now, of course, i wonder if i even NEED a separate audio card. oh, well.

later yesterday a friend sent me another file. fl started to distort at bar 33. i moved the buffer up all the way to 16384 (371ms) but that changed nothing. still very distorted.
i brought the fl file to work, installed FL and tried it there. that machine has pentium 4 cpu at 3.0 Ghz with integrated audio/video. it works fine there even though the fl buffer is only set to 2048 (46ms).
so, after all this, the problem seems to be my pc's slow processor :(
i have approximately the same computer hardware as the original poster. i'm also having integrated sound issues. it distorts the mid-heavy guitar tones on mp3's. i havent had problems with games or movies. i've also tried using headphones instead of my speakers, which produced the same distortion. i'm just wondering if a new sound card would fix the problem. also, as a note to the original poster about updating his video card. i recently did that and bought a sapphire radeon 9250 card from newegg.com so you might want to try there.
