Graphic freezes and sound stutters

[LordDragone]

<p>I've looked through the forums and haven't found anything like this posted.</p><p>I will go into a fight and the heavier the fight the more this happens. My game will freeze for a moment and the sound stutters like a cd skipping on one note. Then it goes on for a minute or so then does it again. It's getting pretty bad.</p><p>EQ2 is the only game this is happening in. Wow, City of Heroes, Vanguard, PC games all run without a hitch.</p>

<p>Could you post your DXDIAG information and PM me the contents of your EQ2_recent.ini?  Only post the top 3 sections of the DXDIAG, system/display/sound devices.  Instructions are in my signature below.</p>

<p>I do recommend visiting your motherboard manufacturer and downloading the latest update for your sound device.  However, I can't say with certainty that this is the cause of your issue and I would like to look in to your Windows Error Reporting.  The instructions in my signature will show you how to contact support directly and submit a ticket with your MSINFO file.  This contains your error reporting and more OS related information that may help me diagnose an issue.</p>
