Real/quicktime player problems

[Joth]

no been going for a few weeks and it has really started to get annoying

 

[BEST JD TCR]

no what i mean is was it fine before?

 

[Joth]

oh, well quicktime was working fine but realplayer has been doddgy for about a month - when i tried to stream anything using it - it would just freeze

 

[BEST JD TCR]

so quicktime works?

 

[Joth]

it worked, but has just stopped working now, same as real player - no audo and when it does work its echoed and broken up and very hard to listen to

 

[BEST JD TCR]

this is only streaming?
what if you download music does it still do it?
if it does not its maybe your internet provider.

Have you tried reinstalling the sound drivers?

 

[Joth]

It does it for streaming, downloaded videos and music, it only seems to work for windows media player, but a few videos i have dont seem to work, and no i havnt tried that David but i will have a go

Goto control panel-sound-then try different settings under audio-the recent version of directx is causing some trouble with certain audio systems. Real player and quicktime also have a built in updater which runs at boot time, it could be the latest updates are not compatable with your system. I would uninstall each program and reinstall an older copy that worked. Then disable the autoupdating with start-run-msconfig in the window and uncheck realplayer and quicktime.-Maybe you will get lucky

I reinstalled the sound drivers and they work fine now
