Hi again. No, I did not talk about skips - I also have these under heavy load (e.g. while browsing a lot and launching other heavy apps), but from time to time all the sound-output sounds like a very low quality mp3 (32kbps or so). Since I experience these problems since it2006 update, I guess its not hw related - I'll record the output with my PC and file a bug report. To be honest I am not really impressed about the features nor the quality of it2006. No ogg playback, on bugzilla not a lot happend except re-assining the bugs arround from one guy to another. The software is still not as "production-ready" as it should be - when using it2005 I was aware that it was a very new "stress" product - but expected it2006 to be a lot better. Instead it2006 is exactly the same crap as it2005 has been - its even buggier then the last versions of it2005. Makes me a bit angry. Clemens
