Stuttering MP3's in WMP 11 when in power saver

Hi
I have this problem where if I use WMP11 to listen to an MP3 and I put the laptop (T400) into power saver mode the MP3's stutter. When I say stutter, they play for 1 second, stop for 1 second, then start and play again for 1 second...this continues in this pattern. This will only happen though with low bit rate MP3's (16 - 32 Kbps)  It was suggested when I asked about this before it might be my CODEC at fault, so I converted some tracks to 128 Kbps MP3's and while that sorts the problem out, I have an unknown amount of music in the low bit rate MP3 format.
The same tracks that stutter in WMP11 play OK in other players. When I put the laptop into performance mode the problem goes.
Has anyone had this problem and solved it?  

I would suggest taking a look at the following thread:

Your stuttering problem is different than my garbled audio problem, but you might be able to get some help there.

  • Fatal Error when starting Power Saver on Tecra M9

    When I try to start Power Saver on a Tecra M9 (21), I get a Fatal error; code: 0X51A.
    I've tried various combinations of uninstalling, cleaning registry, rebooting, etc., but everytime I reinstall (version 7), I get the same fatal error.

    Hi
    You are speaking about the Power saver for XP? Am I right?
    Please note that you have to install all drivers, tools and utilities in the right order!!!
    The installation instruction should be checked and you should follow the guide lines.
    Very important;
    The common modules is a necessary tool to get all other Toshiba tools running properly. Furthermore there is a power saver driver and utility. The driver must be installed before the utility!!!
    Please dont forget this!!!

    Hi. I use Adobe Acrobat XI pro to make a PDF ebook embedded with audio. It works really well on my computer-I can read the book and hear the auto play mp3. The problem is, when I send it to my customers, they have difficulty hearing the audio. A few of them say they have Flash player on their PC and somehow they still can't hear, some say their Google Chrome browser tells them they've already got one flash player while they try to download one. For me, I had to download two versions of Flash player to be able to access to the audio. I don't know what the problem is, is it because it's the latest version of Adobe Acrobat XI pro that people with older version of Adobe reader or flash player can't open it properly? Or is it something else? How can I make sure every customer with different system can access to my books? Hope to hear from you ASAP! Thank you very much.

    And how are the customers accessing the PDFs?
    What devices are they using?
    What program or apps with versions are they using?
    I this age of other then PDF eBooks formats and reader program and apss for computers and mobile devices for these formats I would look at creating the books in one or more of the eBook formats.
    Google Chrome and FireFox both have their own version of a PDF reader plug-in and they are well known to be less capable than Adobe Reader. It is possible to configure these products to use Adobe Reader.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Firefox hangs when trying to save a file, even after removing firefox and reinstalilng afresh

    I recently experienced firefox hanging/freezing indefinitely when trying to save files, such as pdf files. The same pdf files open fine within the browser if I do not select "save link as...", but the problem occurs when I try to save such a file. The problem is similar regardless of the file type (e.g., .mp3, .txt). Not only did I go through the recommended solutions that mozilla suggests when file downloads hang, but I uninstalled firefox completely (removing all files with user settings), and then reinstalled firefox afresh without any plugins or add-ons, and I still have the same file save problem. It may also be worth mentioning that this problem does not occur in internet explorer or chrome. Maybe a system file that firefox uses got corrupted (?), but I don't know which one or how to repair it if that indeed is the problem.
    My system is running XP, and I have McAfee AV installed (which has not been a problem in the past).

    Early on I tried starting firefox in safe mode as one possible fix, and that didn't solve the problem. I just tried again right now with the fresh installation, and still no luck.
    Any other ideas?

  • I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

    When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added  to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
    But, when I  opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

    As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save.  I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was.  I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink."  That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box.  But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink. 
    If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink.  It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved.  Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
    The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html.  If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file.  This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met.  Now back to this work:
    Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not).  I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object.  I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared.  But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again.  I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself.  The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
    Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though.  I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink. 
    Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one).  Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner. 
    I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
    I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
    The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond."  I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
    If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

    Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

    Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
    Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
    If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

  • When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

    When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • I am loosing configuration when I power off my Cisco 857 router

    I bought new Cisco 857 router from the shop. Router must have been used before as I couln't go in with default username/password cisco/cisco.
    Well I followed instruciton and reset password to username and password. Now I finally connected to the Cisco CP express over my IE browser.
    I found out that somebody was using a router from the shop so this is why I coun't log to it in the first place. Anyway problem is that when I changed configuration and applied settings it remembers it until I power it off. When I power it on again it remembers all settings from that shop.
    It reverts everything back: IP address, previous level 15 account and password - everything like after password reset.
    I tried it again and it again lost settings. So I found following instruction:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps233/products_tech_note09186a00800a65a5.shtml
    I followed it and changed again all settings on the router. My settings are again lost after power off/on. I noticed that when I do first bit it does show
    0x2102 not 0x2142 like they think that is password reset mode.
    Here is my output from Hyper Terminal:

    Please help me as I am stuck and can't go any further....

    Hi David White,
    Alternatively, after password recovery you can modify the configuration to be what you want, and then issue:
       write memory
    to save the configuration.  You can then verify that your changes have been saved to the startup config by issuing:
       show startup-config"
    The only good thing is that when I switch off a router it erase configuration except my new password which I created after password reset. Everything else is getting vanished (ADSL settings, DHCP, routing ) everything. Even new admin accounts I created.
    Well have a question to your above comments. I am new in Cisco so please put as much detail as you can for me to understand. When you say modify configuration do you mean to go to Cisco CP Express graphical interface and then connect router to hyper terminal and execute above commands?
    Why router doesn't remember this anyway. There must be some option to change in configuration to make thing permanent when I hit apply changes in Cisco CO Express otherwise it is pointless to heve it.
    Phillip
    write memory
    is
    copy running-config startup-config"
    Can't this be done via Cisco CP Express or set up router to copy this every time I change this in graphical interface rather going to command line to achnoledge it?
    I understand your concern about this router and somebodie's configuration details as you want things to be un-used when you buy them - true. ADSL details belongs to the shop which sold me the router so that is why I don't make a big problem about this. We take most of hardware from this shop and have discount and many good deals with them so I think they have been just testing it and forgot to erease their config. It might be that someone has returned router to the shop and they have repaired it and tested it.
    I hope this is a normal behaviour of this router as I have option to replace it in case this is a fault.
    Could you please write me step by step guide how can I make changed options stay permanently on router?
    thank you

  • What can happen to an intel-based iMac when a power outage occurs while it is on and I unplug it to avoid a surge when power comes back?

    The power went out today, while I was using my intel-based iMac (2008) and I rushed to unplug the power from the wall, before the poser could surge back on. Did I do damage?
    I have a surge protector that it was plugged into, but I thought just to be safe I should unplug!
    Thanks, Group!
    artdough

    Good point!
    Art a surge protector (a good one) is designed to provide contant power to the devices that are plugged into it. This is good in the event of a surge of power up or down however in the event of a complete power outage they're of no value.
    A UPS (Uninteruptable Power Supply) is just that, it has surge protection like a surge suppresor however it also has a battery integrated into it. The battery is designed to provide enough power for a user to do an orderly shutdown. In addition most UPS's can also plug into your iMac via a USB cable. Then you can set energy saver preferences that you cannot see now. For example you can set how long the computer should run in the event of power going off. You can also set if you want the computer to reboot or not when the power comes back on etc. For about $100 you can get a fine UPS that will add an additional layer of protection for your computer and give you extra peace of mind.

    could not complete the export command because of a program error
    I've searched the forum, but it seems like no one has found a solution.
    I have a new PC with Windows 7 on it. It's Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. i5 processor, 16GB RAM and plenty of HD space.
    I am running Photoshop Elements 6.
    When I used the same version of Photoshop Elements 6 on my old XP computer, I didn't have this problem.

    I also tried the alt/ctrl/shift buttons when clicking Editor in the Photoshop welcome screen. It did ask if I wanted to reset the preferences. I chose yes. I still get the same error message when trying to save for web.
    Below....showing I don't have a "save for web" folder on my C drive.
    And below, showing the same error after pressing alt/shift/ctrl when clicking on editor and clearing the preferences.
    I don't have a 'Save for Web' folder anywhere on my C: drive. I searched and came up with no folder with the text "save for web" in it.
    I did find a "save for web" folder on my D: drive and deleted that.. but now when I start up Photoshop, the option for Save for Web is grayed out...not able to select it.
