Notebook freezes when music is played?

Question

I have aPavillion dv5224nr notebook with Win XP Media Center. Whenever I use it to play music, the player has a tendancy to freeze up. I cant narrow it dow no a program issue because it happens in WMP 10, Yahoo Jukebox and the Media Center Player.
It happens with MP3 files WMA and Internet radio. I have reinstalled the audio and video drivers and I have just defraged the hard drive. I can play games and do everything else fine, its just when I play music.

I got word from an HP service Tech
there is a setting in WMP 10 that turns on a battery save feature for video. Didnt think it applied at first, but then I thought of visualizations. I unchecked this setting and so far things seem to be working alot better

You may have some bad hardware for music on your computer. Hope you still have your warranty.

Answer 2

Not knowing WHICH sound system you have, I can not be sure, but I had a similar problem with a system that used an Ensonic driver. I don't remember which one.
It locked up everthing else while playing and sometimes wouldn't release without a reboot.

I searched around and found a different driver for the system. That solved my problem.

Hoped this helped.
