Microsoft's ultimate advice was to run msconfig, disabling items under the Startup and Services tabs to see if that made any difference. I...
What an astonishing state of affairs. I would have thought that audio distortion would be top of their "things to do" list. Bit like a car...
Yes, of course Evan.
Rather annoyingly the problem seemed to escalate, or at least was joined by another problem/s. I wasn't able to reinstall MSE, and very soon...
Thank you Arie, that checklist page is very interesting. I have opened a support case with Microsoft, alluded to, but not explained, in my...
Ok Arie, I misunderstood.
Evan, I did that but it didn't help. I now have more problems anyway. I have been unable to reinstall MSE after uninstalling it and I can't...
I remembered that thread Evan, and the first thing I did was to check that the relative box in CCleaner was not checked. I use jv16 Power...
I started seeing this message a couple of days ago. I had set it to perform a quick scan daily but that had been reset to a weekly one. I have...
I have now removed the PCI audio card and installed the later AC'97 driver. That has resulted in an almost complete cure. If I am very...

I have tried to update the audio driver without success. The system tells me that it can't find a version newer than the one already...

Thank you Evan. I restored the system to the earliest available, which was 18th of this month, but that didn't help. I came back to the latest...
Thank you both for you responses. Evan, the clean boot instructions don't include XP, and Use Original BOOT.INI is not greyed out when...
I removed the older version of Flash, 10.3.183.11, and installed the latest version again. The audio stutters in all three browsers. I had...
I installed an earlier version. Results in Firefox and Chrome are now normal but IE8 coughs up the message. "The Adobe Flash Player or an...
Thank you Evan. I installed the latest Flash player and noticed no difference. A search for updated audio drivers gave the "no better match...
The audio track on YouTube video clips, and on some non-YouTube audio only tracks, jitters/stutters when I move the mouse cursor and is even worse...
Many thanks Flatiron2.
