Win7 Win10 Webradio Streaming problem Buffer underrun

Hi tech Fans,

i have a new computer bought this year but it drives me nuts.

It´s a PC with Mainboard: Asus H97 Pro Gamer - Chipset intel H97, Ethernet intel I218-V

with ASUS QVL Kingston DualChannel RAM

I decided to post a video to YT, because it difficult to describe.

http://youtu.be/li1Fygv-jCk Windows10 / Windows7 - Webstream (Radio) buffer underrun / interrupts - YouTube

But here some words.

When i listen to a webradio stream, sometimes Buffer underruns happens.

How to reproduce it is shown in the video above.

My guess is, that windows 7 and unfortunately also windows 10 are not optimized for multi tasking internet activity's.

I think its a problem with different priority's..

What you see is:

-> my DSL connection has 2Megabit/sec max. Downstream capability

-> i started to listen to a web stream with 128 kilobit/s in Winamp (Microsoft Mediaplayer also have that problem) and it´s okay.

-> than i decided to use Firefox and if it´s too much traffic the webstream sound interrupts.

In WindowsXP i have similar conditions and i doesn´t have this bufferunderruns.

SO - What can i do to solve this annoying problem?

Any comments are welcome

bye Asus H97 user

Hi wb,

yes that´s correct, but i decided to start a new discussion.

Right now i´m updating windows10. (background activity)

When i try to listen webradio. no change... sound stuttering without an end! and without any browser activity's.

Just listen radio + Windows10 background updates.

Even browsing the the web, isn´t possible in acceptable time any more

NOT everyone on this planet has a "50 Megabit/s, < 50 milliseconds ping" internet connection - software engineers shouldn´t forget this circumstance.

bye bye and thanks for your answer
