rats - I thought someone here had the answer to this.
My system: brand new Win7 x64, 8gb ram, Intel i7 quad.
Problem happens regardless of the media player: WMP 12, or WinAmp 5.57, VLC. WMP and VLC make a blip noise during the stutter, WinAmp just has little micro-stutters. These stutters occur about every 1/2 second (pretty much a regular beat too).
The problem for me is it occurs ONLY on streaming audio. Does NOT occur on downloads of any kind: Youtube, m3u files, local mp3 files, etc. The audio that I am streaming works perfectly on the exact same network using my WinXP and Win2K pcs so I know that it isn't the source or bandwidth. M3U files load smoothly and easily outpace the playback, as do youtube files.
