2 Monitors - Strange Sound

[Kaelon]

Ok Guys - I just hooked up 2 monitors to my computer! Very nice! I have one monitor on a Voodoo 5 pci and one on a GeForce 2 agp. My problem is that when I play music, I like to drag windows media player over my second monitor but if I drag a window over to that second monitor and minimize it (or restore it for that matter) it makes a scratching sound on the speakers and skips the music a little. It sounds almost like scratching an old record. If I were to minimize the window on the primary monitor it doesn't make the sound.
Any ideas??? Thanks all.

Try turning off the visualization in WMP.

No luck with visualizations. I just tried to reproduce the same scratching sound in realplayer and I was able to so I think we can rule out a problem with media player.

How about DirectX then? Why don't you download and install its latest version. This is a software-related problem which is probably caused by either DirectX, or a device driver.

ALso, check your sound card drivers. Make sure they're up-to-date. You could always try the old fashioned CD Player. Dosn't use near the same amount of resources as Media Player, and will probably give you a LOT less problems.

Well I did a little bit of testing and it appears to be the voodoo card. I would have no idea why but my assumption is that it is. Thanks for all the help.

Sounds like your card is making noise. Nothing surprising as I have heard everything in a computer make a noise. try making sure that no cables are routed by the video card. Especially, the sound cable for your cdrom. As far as the mp3 skipping the only thing I can think of is you stole a cpu cycle. Do you have active desktop turned on?
