stuttering in opening movie

[arkhaan of fire]

I am having trouble with the sound. It stutters in the movies and I miss spoken dialogue.
I am using a Sound Blaster ZXR with updated drivers and Windows 7 SP1 fully updated. I don't think speed is the issue as my PC is Quad Core.

Take a look at my suggestion in this thread and let me know if that solves it for you:

Another thing you can do, is press CTRL+L to toggle between hi-res and low-res cutscene movies. The low-res versions might run a bit more smoothly on some systems.

yes that worked!
in fact, it not only fixed the lipsinc it also fixed the stuttering.

thanks!
