OP
by the way, if I use wave out instead of direct sound in winamp it fixes the problem, but I have no clue what to do with windows media player.

To my knowledge you are pretty **** out of luck with the Media Player. I had the same problem with the skipping sound until I got my new setup. I had SB Live on a **** mother board the sound skipped on every driver. Works with my Athlon quite well.
 
Winamp gives you those nice buffer options and other things that make the sound very nice. Direct sound ACK!!
 
Somebody please post thier knowledge on this Direct sound optimization stuff. If there is any way to do it at all.
