Except, its not as accentuated as Axel states in my case. Its more like for every 5 minutes of play there is a 5 second pause. This is an average I've taken of 9 occurances of the pause over today's daily work. It only seems to occur in files (large?) enough to contain data for more than a 5 minute period. Mostly trance, the Grateful Dead or Cecilia Bartoli in my case, lol. Based on the 'marriage' of time and data could it be possible that the audio driver buffer gets backed up? Audio from cdroms seems to do this too, however, I don't listen to many cds so my info on that angle is limited. If his audio is choppy after he bails from USB use (or applies the patch), if he uses it, I would think the audio driver is at fault. Anyone else having experiences like this? Don
