2012 Troll of the Year
I gave my system a freshy, on a brand new HD, after I bought my gfx card. Perfect, things run nice.. after all the XP fixes/patches/driver updates, my system developed some sort of odd sound glitch. Hard to explain, but it seemed as though the sound was skipping.
You couldn't find a more ambiguous oddity, and of course the forums were filled with noobs saying "My sound doesn't work!".
The problem was occurring everywhere, from youtube, to media player, and even counterstrike, "caching" at the least appropriate times.
Well, lordy hallelujah, one obscure post in the far reaches of the known internets, claimed to have the solution, uninstall the primary IDE drivers, and reboot, and allow XP to automatically detect and configure.
That was the trick, it worked, and is better now.
