***Reducing the process priority of hl2.exe from "normal" to "low" in the Windows task manager.***

...don't ...ask ...me ...why. It just works for me. And at least one other forum visiter who has tried it.

Don't know if this works or not, just saw it when tidying up old bookmarks :P

This seemed like the place to put it.

Funny thing is I had an mp3 convertor proggy that worked best if you lowered the CPU/resource priority. It ground everything to a halt with normal priority set, so I am hopeful (if blindly so).

Update on the stutter problem:

QUOTE

Valve's DougV has posted an update on the Steam Users Forums. Here are the most relevant pieces:

I appreciate that people are still having problems with audio stuttering I know it's frustrating that we haven't released a "magic" fix but this problem *is* at the top of our list to fix and we've got a dedicated team working on it. This is a tricky problem as you can guess by reading all 650 posts in this thread...people aren't all having exactly the same problem and the solutions people have found are different on most machines.

We take a great deal of pride in our work and it's just as frustrating to us that you can't enjoy the game that we've worked so hard on. We ARE working on this and hope to have a fix to release shortly.
