Here it goes:

Been using the old 113 build since it came out. Everything worked fine until today. Five or six hours ago, I was playing some music and put "pause" and went out. Came half an hour ago, restarted the player, tried playing again, but I was in for a surprise...

Here's the fun part - the playback is now skipping, EQ isn't working (the crossfade plugin helps with that but only with that), sometimes I can't even load my files! And also, a frustrating "bug", when i listen to music and open, for example, Firefox, music playback slows to like, 20% of original speed!

I really don't know what to do, I reinstalled and manually deleted everything including plugins, library and regedit data like, 5 times, upgraded to build 116 (it works even worse than 113), tried to change my buffer size.. Nothing helps.

PC is virus and spyware free, using Win XP SP2. The problem occurs only with QMP - Winamp, Foobar and other players work fine. But I really want to use QMP because it's the best :)

Please, help me out here..

Sound card or onboard sound drivers up to date?

Yes, they are up to date.

I've fixed the problem. Deleted the IDE controllers, had the feeling DMA wasn't on although Windows showed it was (very weird), because I experienced slowdowns in other applications as well. QMP works normal now..

But then, why did all the other players work normal, and QMP didn't? Strange..
