Trying to solve an issue with choppy Audio and Video

[Fugu]

This issue has just sprung up lately and it's eluding me very well as to how to fix it.

Main issue is when I listen to streaming audio through Windows media player via a .asx file 192kb/s stream is not at all enjoyable and a 128kb/s stream plays but gets choppy randomly every 2 minutes or so.

Youtube plays well as usual but I tried watching Cosmos on Globaltv.com

This is exactely where I was

My diagnostics have included:

Resetting modem, moving my computers lan cable to a different port on router, changing cables, clearing browser history and cache, reinstalling Realtek lan drivers (uninstall, reset , install).
I have free harddrive space and after checking windows performance i'm not using up all my bandwith or CPU or ram..

If I fire up my computer next to me it plays audio and video streams with no problem..


Quite stumped. Where should I look now?

I assume this would rule out any issues with your network. Do you have any codec packs installed, stuff like that?

 

[Fugu]

not sure about the codecs.. I'll have to look into that

Is that player Flash based?

 

[Fugu]

Yes, yes it is!

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Try wiping out Flash and reinstalling it from a fresh download

Seems to be working fine now. Thanks gentlemen.
