Audio breakup

I have vista home premium with a 256MB Radeon 2600 XT video card. I am
continually having problems with streaming audio breaking up. Sometimes
there are no issues and other times once it starts I have to reboot the pc in
order for the audio to work correctly again. This happens with streaming
video from you tube, Rhapsody or any number of news web sites where I am
watching a video. My pc has 4GB of Ram and 260 GB of hard drive memory. I
never have an audio issue if I am playing something that resides on my pc,
ie. a game or musicon hard drive.
I have 10 Mbps of internet connect speed so that shouldn't be the issue.
And as I pointed out--if I do a reboot everything works fone for another day
or so. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the issue and how to
fix it? Thanks.

It sounds like a bandwidth Issue. I know you have a 10MB Connection bu
maybe the place you are streaming from is being heavily consumed b
other users. Also 10MB connection is most likely cable. How cabl
internet works is if a lot of users in your area are using a lot o
bandwidth at the same time, then your speeds go down. Check you
bandwidth by typing into good bandwidth speed test.

IP bandwidth is one factor. Uneven data streaming speed is another. To much
running in background on your P/C is another.
Finally, out of order packets can also be a source of the problem.
http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov Can be a good detailed test for speed and
quality.
