    You have 2 options.

    the easiest way, with least amount of things to set

    Shark007 codec pack
    youll need the win 7 version AND the 64bit add-on if you plan to use the codecs in WMC
    It has everything you'll need already set up, and even the option to have any direct show player use whichever codecs you want... Win7s or FFD show


    you can also DL each seperatly and install, but will require some configuring.

    Please list your audio equipment.

    Also, indexing first has to index and with large disks and libraries this can take time.

    You can review in indexing options if the index has completed building or not.

    I do not suggest turning it off.

    Audio is from motherboard (Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R) and is a Realtek ALC888 high def audio.

    Indexing is complete, not that there was much to index yet - it's a brand new setup and a couple of mp3s on it (for testing).
    Equipment = Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R with intel i7 quad, 8gb ram, win7 64bit, 2 ati radeon HD460 (1gb), 2 150gb drives in raid-1, 4 1tb drives in raid10. Brand new install, and no other programs running.

    My IT guy just tested on several Win7 systems and the 64-bit versions all have this problem, and the 32-bit versions do not.

    Load the media player of your choice and give it this URL: JBServers.net :: Shoutcast Control Panel or you can give it SHOUTcast Administrator or you can go to shoutcast or Live365 and load other streams. It's only happening on streaming media. Anything that downloads a file (such as YouTube, or m3u lists or d/l of mp3, etc.) will be just fine, it's just streaming that is an issue on x64. And, works great if I run a VM of XP.

    Also, something else I've done (and is my workaround for now), I have my old PC next to it, streaming the stations, outputting to the line-in of the Win7 and routing that to the speakers - no pausing or blips this way either.

    I have no issues streaming on W7 using WMC or WMP...it's definately not an across the board issue...

    I'm having the same problem. It doesn't seem to occur with stored music, just internet radio (di.fm). My hardware is more than adequate. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. The internet connection is perfect, and I didn't have this problem under Vista 32 bit on the same setup. Interestingly, if I set WMP to buffer for the maximum 60 seconds, there is no skipping in that first 60 seconds. Also, the stuttering is intermittent. It can be find for an hour, then stutter terribly for another hour.

    Same Problem Here


    New machine running win7 64bit, media played from disc is fine but anything streaming is rubbish. Problem is not so bad if the file is fully buffered but still freezes for a second, just not as much.

    Seems like a bunch of ppl have this problem but no one has any answers??

    Similar problem here. I've tried playing audio (mp3) and video (avi) files in MediaPortal and WMP and I get random stuttering in both. Here's my hardware setup:

    Gigabyte GA-MA785GT-UD3H motherboard (built in graphics and audio)
    3.00 gigahertz AMD Athlon II X2 250 PCU
    2 GB RAM

    The hardware was bought new a week ago and a clean install of Win 7 is on it. No codec packs, just ffdshow and Haali Media Splitter. 95% of the time things are fine but then the video/audio will stutter for a while then go back to normal. I've turned off indexing and system restore on all drives except my system partition. I have two other hard drives, one for music (320GB) and one for video (1 TB). None need defragmenting.

    Any suggestions?

    @modtang - is your W7 a 64-bit?

    I've also been having this issue. Currently its less noticable withvideo but very noticeable with audio. Avi's etc is not too bad, live tv not to bad, but unbeleivable with any disc in the DVD drive.

    My current system is AMD Athlon 64 X2vDual Core 6000+ (3ghtz),
    mb Asus M2N-E
    Ram 2 gig DDR2
    HDDs 1 * 1.5tb WD
    2 * 1tb WD
    Pioneer DVR 216
    Video NVDIA GeForfce 8600 GT
    SB Audio
    WinFast DTV2000 H
    OS Win7 Ult RTM

    All drivers are upto date except as only nvdia 169.xxxxxxxx is the only one that works with my moniter.

    This is testing my memory but I remember a similar problem with Vista or Win7 RC1 (there abouts) and I beleive the problem at the was an update from ms. Its too long ago to remmber exact details.

    Hope this is helpful, & I'm looking for a solution this stutter is driving me nuts.

    Are all of you using HDMI? I thought it might have something to do with that. I've also changed all my power settings so nothing automatically turns off of hibernates. I've not noticed the problem since I tweaked that but I'm not ready to say the problem has been solved.
