Hi folks,
I was hoping that someone may be able to help me. I recently bought a new hard disk - Maxtor Diamondmax 80 Gig - to replace my old one, and ever since i cannot play mp3's or watch dvd's without the sound stuttering all over the place. My soundcard is a pretty simple onboard soundblaster PCI 128 which has served me very well until recently. I noticed that when the sound stutters the disk access light is blinking constantly and if I attempt to do something which requires further disk access eg. running another program the sound quality goes very bad indeed! Would very much appreciate any advice anyone has on the subject. Thanks.
