Problems with Vista?

Have you tried updating your drivers for your soundcard ?

I found a solution for the problem I was having. If you go to the performance options under system properties and select adjust for best performance it fixes the problem. Basically what it does is disables all the Vista visual enhancements and gives it the Win2k look. This fixes many problems that you might have with Vista that you didn't with others. Another problem I was having is while using VNC and remoting into other computers I noticed a huge delay on the remote computer if it was running Vista, set to adjust for best performance and voila the computer works like its suppose to. Another problem was the sound going out on my internal sound card. It would go out every so often, I would reboot and it would start working again, I had the latest drivers, tried disabling all third party software/services from boot and it would still happen. Sound went out today while I was listening to music, changed the option to adjust for best performance and sure enough the sound came right back on. If you are having any problems with Vista I would suggest trying this first since it take about 30 second and if you are still having problems do the common thing, check drivers, updates, services, forums, and if all else fails... format and try again.

Actually, this disables the Aero under Vista, themes, and all other processes that are CPU, Memory intensive. Plus a few other things..

True but just disabling the Aero didn't do the trick completely. I was still having the problems after disabling that. It took disabling all the visual effects. Which is pretty lame considering Vista runs a test to see if system can handle running it or not and if it can't it disables it. If Vista can't handle running it visual effects and processes necessary to another main program running (say a DJ program) it should automatically turn off that feature. Vista just sucks, I plan on getting a Macbook Pro soon, dedicating that to everything I do musically then go fully Linux for everything else.
