Also a word about your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This website offers a heavy content of streaming audio and uses Windows© streaming audio and video to offer our viewers the best possible experience. The faster your connection speed, the more pleasant your visit shall be at WKBWradio.com. With dial-up service and some DSL connections you may detect a breaking up or pausing of both audio and video. This may be due to a slow connection speed. A cable modem is recommended for best viewing.
Q. The audio sounds choppy, or cuts out and rebuffers frequently.
A. Buffering occurs when your computer is not receiving streaming data fast enough; the buffering, or cutting out, occurs when the player tries to catch up.
- Slow dial-up connection: Dial-up Internet connection speed varies. For example, if you are using a 28.8 modem, you may not have a full 28.8kbps connection. The reality is, if your Internet connection is 30Kpbs or slower, you will experience buffering.
- You may need to adjust your buffering setting. To adjust the buffering:
- Open up the default Windows Media Player program. The "default" program is usually found as an "icon" on the desktop of your computer, or through the "START" menu on your taskbar.
- Go to the View menu and select Options.
- Click the "Advanced" tab.
- Double-click "Windows Media Source Filter" and increase the buffer time to 15 or 30.
- Internet congestion. During peak hours, even on a high speed line, the stream may sound choppy or cut out due to interference caused by general Internet congestion in your area.
- Available LOCAL bandwidth is shared between all open browser windows, applications, and the player. To see what proportion of your available bandwidth you're using: Right-click on the Windows Media Player status bar and view statistics. Closing other windows and applications may help.
- The temporary files a browser uses have completely filled its allotted memory size. Restarting your computer, deleting the temporary files, clearing the memory cache, or increasing the memory size may help.
- Sound card conflict: Not all sound cards (especially low cost OEMs) are compatible with all streaming media players. Incorrect sound card drivers may cause problems with compressed audio. Many users unknowingly live with bad drivers for a long time because all of the system sounds included with the Windows operating systems are uncompressed audio files, which will often play correctly even with bad or mismatched drivers.
