    The audio on my M15x sometimes tears, like a half a second jump in the music every few seconds. Sound just like when i ran games that my computer couldn't handle so it couldn't process the graphics and sound so the audio tore, but this can occur even when the M15x is doing nothing.

    I've updated my sound drivers drivers too IDT version 6.10.0.6241,A01 for my 92HD83 audio

    Before the driver update i had issues with volume in my earphone ports which have been fixed although I think the audio quality isn't quite up to standard.

    I've just played a song through my laptop into my speakers and on my ipod into my earphones at the same time, starting at exactly the same point. near the end the 2 started to separate. i think that the laptop might be playing it a little bit slower than my ipod which i'm sure has no audio problems.
    This could be part of the tearing problem.
