Actually I'm using standard mini-jack connections from a Sound Blaster X-Fi titanium to a Logitech 5500 surround sound. I can assure you the sound card on its own isn't a factor as I was running it with my old setup just fine.

My old setup was a pair of Radeon 3870s running in crossfire (answers your question about my board It's an Intel x58 chipset and I'm running a Core 2 Quad 6850 at 3.0ghz with 8gb ram. Everything worked fine til I swapped to the GeForce.

I went the extra mile and ripped out every last trace of the ATI and nVidia drivers and went with a clean install of the latest beta drivers for it. Still no luck. I'll be talking with nVidia's tech support soon since I'm reasonably confident the issue exists on your side. If it's happened across 3 different cards with 2 different player softwares it seems it's the only other possibility.

Larry,

I've been scouring the forums as I've run into the same issue as yourself. In the interest of narrowing down the problem I went so far as to test a couple other player programs as for me it also occurs during standard DVD playback.

I tried using Corel's WinDVD, could only try it with DVDs but it too encountered the same issue that you're describing.

However, when I tried it with windows media player DVD playback was perfectly fine. I'm starting to wonder if this is just some longstanding issue with nVidia's hardware as both the PureVideo and even CUDA support run across the same problem on my system.

To add insult to injury my problem is occurring with a newly purchased GTX480
