I only have one more idea to solve this issue. Google PCI Latency Tool. Install it, run it, set your video card's latency to 64 and your sound card's latency to 128. Apply settings, save settings, and enable the "Apply on Start-up" option. Reset your PC and try the videos again.

thats how it was on my old computer too i think it might actually be the sound card drivers, cause I get some wierd sound glitches sometimes Looks like I was right all along, its the sound card I disabled it and the videos ran without a hitch....just soundless, so looks like I'm gonna be searching for some updates

You don't even have a sound card. You have motherboard audio. Motherboard audio uses CPU power and system memory. Buy a sound card with Directsound hardware acceleration support. For 16 bucks you can get a Soundblaster Ensoniq 5880 (also known as a Sounblaster 16 PCI). It supports DSound and EAX (Enviromental Audio Extentions) hardware acceleration. It uses it's own little processor and utilizes only 8mb of system memory. Don't buy a Sounblaster Audigy LS or Soundblaster Live! 24bit. Those Soundblaster cards don't fully support hardware acceleration. If you have the money buy an Audigy 2/4 or X-Fi. The Audigy 2/4 has FAST hardware acceleration in DSound and in EAX 1, 2, 3 and 4. The X-Fi has what the Audigy 2/4 has, plus 64mb of it's own XRAM memory. Plus it renders audio in outstanding prestine 24bit /192 kHz compared to the basic 16bit / 44.1 /48 kHz.

It's not your fault. Today's PC manufacturers tend to put either onboard video or onboard sound in PC's to reduce manufacturing costs.

Specifications Model Brand Turtle Beach Model RIVIERA Audio core Channels 5.1 Sample Rate 48KHz Digital Audio 24-bit Ports Line In Yes Line Out Front/Rear/Center/Subwoofer/Rear Center SPDIF Out Optical MIC In Yes MIDI/Joystick Yes Spec Interface PCI Features Features Optical S/PDIF output S/PDIF output allows for pass-through of Dolby Digital? and DTS?multi-channel DVD sound to external A/V receivers Selectable 2, 4, or 6 analog line output channels External line input Internal CD and Aux inputs Supports Game Surround Sound APIs such as EAX, A3D, I3DL2 and DirectSound 3D support Converts stereo sound sources to multi-channel format Environmental Effects Full-featured software suite
It has hardware support. Including EAX hardware support. EAX brings audio to life and it's something worth having.
The only concern I have with it is the 24bit /48kHz. All you need is 16bit for 48kHz, which means the sound card is just wasting bandwidth. 24bit is only needed for sampling rates higher than 96kHz.
