Greetings.

I have the old problem. The stuttering in the FMV-Videos (Soundblaster 
Audigy 2 ZS).

But if i turn down the hardware sound acceleration to "none", none of 
the videos will be played. :/

I have Windows 2000 Professional and the Prophecy-patch for w2k is 
installed. With all other settings the Videos will be played but theres 
the stuttering. (If i lower the settings then there is less stuttering 
but it is there further.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You could also try to disable or enable the full duplex setting of your 
soundcard.
BTW: Win2000 Pro is probably the worst system of all times (besides NT) 
when it comes to games.

I tried all settings. With every lower setting it will be better but it
is still there.

I know, Windows 2000 Professional isn't the best OS for gaming but every
game i have is running fine (40 games).

I think i activate my onboardsound for this game. This will be the best 
solution for this problem... :/
