wierd CD sound card issue

hello
I recently got a new Dell Dimension Desktop PC, which runs Win XP Pro. It has 1024 MB RAM and is a Pentium 4 2.8GHz so I thought it would be reasonably powerful, although not blistering.
In general its dead fast and I enjoy using it.
But I have one small problem: when I try to rip a CD and play other MP3s at the same time, the music comes out garbled and is in slow motion.
This happens whether I use WIndows Media Player, Itunes or musicmatch as the software to either rip or play back. It even happens if I use Music MAtch to rip, and iTunes to play, or vice versa.
Once the CD is ripped and stored as MP3 on file, I can resume normal MP3 playback.
Any ideas?!?
Cheers

Dont play a CD with one program and rip with another...
Play with WMP and Rip with WMP or is that what your doing as the sound card and drivers will try to power two seperate programs and cause problems.
In simple terms0 -
Thanks, but at present I cannot rip a CD whilst playing a different MP3 simultaneously both with the SAME program or with different programs attempting the two tasks.
Should I be able to do this or is it a no-hoper?its pretty hard to drown a goldfish.0 -
encoding from cd to mp3 with utilize your cpu completely, it you get a faster cpu it will just encode faster. You can't really tell the cpu to put encoding second in the cue to media player or itunes. Well you can chnage the priority in task manager but you would have to do it each time & while they are running.0

Um try ripping a CD and Playing a CD (both same track) or you will confuse the PC as its trying to record one track and play a different one at the same time.
I for one just do a rip and no playing of any track so if a CD starts to play stop it then do a rip.
Its like going left and right at a roundabout at the same time, very confusing0 -
yes you are right it is really hogging the PC resources just to rip the CD.
ok thanks guys I think I'll give up and twiddle my thumbs whilst its ripping!
so much for multi-tasking!its pretty hard to drown a goldfish.0
