What can be done to correct choppy and erratic sound when viewing a course?
It is more than likely due to a slow Internet connection. Corpedia courses require a constant rate of about 3.5k/sec in order to stream the course to your computer. Faster connections allow your computer to download the course into temporary memory for smoother playback. Other Internet activity, such as downloading other files or checking for e-mail, can also interrupt the stream and cause problems. Make sure you avoid such Internet related activities if you experience problems and turn off your automatic e-mail check if enabled. If the sound is smooth but the presentation is choppy, this is most likely due to processor overload or lack of available memory. Make sure you do not have unnecessary applications open that require large amounts of memory or processor demands like database interfaces, word processing, spreadsheets, or other productivity software. Most web browsers create a heavy demand on the system by themselves, and Corpedia’s rich media content drives that demand even high
