sound is choppy

My sound is only choppy on certain flash sites and does get to be a pain, I am on suse 11.1 using the alsa driver. Does anyone know why?

Some flash sites can have videos with a high bit rate that can cause this. What happens if you download the videos to your hard drive and then play them? Are they smooth then?

For example, how does this play on your PC ?

I’ve had some friends claim it was choppy for them, and I did apply a reasonably high bit rate when I created it (compared to many other youtube videos).

sounds great

Well, that successful playback sort of kills my bit rate theory ! :slight_smile:

When the sound is choppy are you getting a good consistent stream of audio data from the web site to which you have connected?
