I can hear audio, but it hisses, pops, sounds scratchy, or sometimes drops in and out?
Verify that you are using the proper and most up-to-date drivers for your sound card. NetShow Services uses standard Windows compression codecs to compress and decompress the audio. Poorly implemented or incorrect sound card drivers may cause problems with compressed audio. You mismatched drivers because may not know that you are using bad or all of the system sounds that are included with Windows are uncompressed audio files. You can typically play these files correctly even with bad or mismatched drivers. This problem is not unique to NetShow Services; virtually any multimedia program that uses Windows sound codecs and compressed audio files is likely to exhibit similar behavior. Some sound cards cannot play audio content that was created with either an 8-kHz or 16-kHz sampling rate. To determine if the sampling rate is the issue, check the sampling rate that is used in the .asf file. In Windows Media Player, open the “problem” streaming media file. On the File menu, click Properties
