experiencing other sound issues see our sound
page. Any of the below recommendations can resolve your issue,
but this issue can also quickly be resolved by disabling the
startup sound through the sounds icon in the Control Panel.
McAfee Virus Scanner
McAfee Virus scanner in some cases has been found to cause the
computer sound to stutter as the computer loads up. If you currently
have McAfee virus scanner installed in the computer, temporarily
uninstall the program to see if it is causing the computer sound to
stutter. If this is not the cause, re-install the program.
Sound Drivers
Issues with the sound drivers are also a likely cause to the sound
stuttering at the startup. See our sound
card driver section to see if the manufacturer of your sound provides
any updated drivers.
DirectX 3.0 drivers
If you are currently running DirectX 3.0 or below it is recommended
that you update to the latest version of DirectX. Information on how to
do this can be found on our DirectX page.
Other third-party software loading
If none of the above solutions resolve your issue, it has also been
reported that various other third-party software programs may tax the
processor and cause the sound to stutter when the computer is booting
up. To resolve this issue, attempt to remove programs or TSRs from
loading automatically. Additional information on how to do this can be
found on our TSR page.
