    Hi everyone,

    I am thrilled with my new 1520 except I have noticed that when playing mp3s either with the integrated sound or my Creative Express Card, there is pretty frequent stuttering/popping even when I am barely doing anything else on the computer (for example just writing this post). Is this normal? Can anything be done to improve this?

    Thanks.

    A little more info: I am running Vista Home Premium and using Winamp to play mp3s.

    Yeah that link do resolve that problem. Just try to disable all enhancement in the sound properties. That should take care of the problem.
