While typing in any sort of text entry application (Notepad, OpenOffice, Wordpad, Thunderbird, Gmail, PHPBB topic posting, etc, you name it) , the audio from CDs and MP3s skips occasionally (usually it's more of a 'hiccup'). this happens whether i'm playing music on Winamp 5, Windows Media Player 9 and Exact Audio Copy. this has occurred for as long as i can remember (perhaps it even happened on my last computer? i don't remember), but it seems to be worse now!
computer specs: AMD Athlon 2500XP, ASUS A7N8X deluxe motherboard, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard, 1 GB RAM....
this is really annoying. please help.
audio skips while... typing???

That's a weird one.
Keystroke logger maybe? You have plenty of RAM and CPU so it's not a buffer issue.

If you have an 'always on' internet connection, I'd guess some kind of spyware or something along those lines. Maybe some program you have is periodically checking the net.
Try unhooking your modem and see if it still happens.
