Yes. Your expert knows sod-all about the PCI bus and video cards. This is a common
problem with PCI sound cards, and is actually caused by video card drivers. The video
card driver hogs the PCI bus (the data lines along which the various cards in your PC
communicate with CPU and memory) for longer than it should do. The result is that all
other cards in the system suffer timing problems. The only time you notice this is on
output devices such as sound cards. THe solution isn't very simple. You can try
updating video card drivers, turning down hardware acceleration in the display
settings, or as a last resort replacing the video card. Unfortunately manufactureres
don't tell you if their drivers hog the PCI bus or not, so you need to find a
newsgroup dedicated to video cards and ask for recommendations.
Hope this helps!
