VIA Chipset?  Try the latest *suitable* 4in1 drivers.

If that doesn't work try the VIA latency patch.
Here's a BETA.  Try looking for a full release with KT400 support.

More about it:

You could also try asking in the Creative newsserever to find other
stratagies:

If you stick with Intel CPUs and Intel chipsets, you wouldn't have these
problems.

ss.

weird eh?

I have:

Gigabyte GA-7VAXP
Athlon XP2600+
Audigy 2
Sapphire Radeon 9700 Pro
1GB DDR ram
Adaptec SCSI card (not sure which one)
Plextor 40x SCSI CDRom
plus a few other bits 'n' bobs that probably don't matter!?

I get sound that stops for a split second or a second a lot more often
than you, say after 30 seconds of playback and regularly after that.
Like you I have all the upto date drivers.

I tried every tip going on Creatives site APART from the one about
reducing Graphics acceleration - Jeez do they really expect me to pay
�300 for a video card and the not use it too it's full potential.

Any tips greatfully received.

washing machine,  fridge, dryer, AC unit, all and any appliances in your domicile or the apartment next door. Unfortunately some of
us haven't experienced a REAL recording studio with isolated power circuits and we aren't told about this from computer sellers.

Hallelujah.

I have had my problem solved by SIR JOHN at Scan Computers
(www.scan.co.uk). This guy is a genius and has helped me with several
problems over the last few months.

With his expert knowledge I removed SCSI card and disabled the onboard
RAID. 
Sound was faultless. 
Reinserted SCSI card in different PCI slot (moved it from 5 to 4) -
sound still OK. Re-enabled RAID, system would not boot. However I only
have 4 devices connected at the moment so RAID turned off.

A point about another post on this subject, I re-installed XP several
times and it made no difference at all.

Incidentally I initially thought the soundcard was at fault so I
purchased a M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card, which exhibited the
same problems as the Audigy 2. The above fix worked with the M-Audio
card inserted.

Audigy 2 anyone?

what was needed was to simply to turn OFF plug and play OS in the bios and reset configuration data to  YES  actually you never had
to remove the card. As long as its fixed   who cares,,,
