When I play GLquake the game stutters. It happens randomly. No certain places for the stuttering to happen
This happens at any resolution or color depth.
CPU - Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8 Ghz, 400 FSB
GPU - Voodoo 3 2000 PCI. Latest drivers.
Sound Card - Vortex 2 based Turtle Beach card
Any fix?
Still looking for fix.

What fixed it anyway? Changing drivers or the soundcard itself?

Sound card itself. It may have been the drivers for the Live I had in there. I still get stutters every now and then but hey. It runs.

It isn't fixed 🙁 I get stuttering no matter what card I use, my Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 420' or the Voodoo card!

I minimized the stuttering by changing IRQs in the BIOS. Still stuttering some though. But playable.

If you consider an alternative to the port, try using DarkPlaces.

Source ports won't help the stuttering issue anyway. I had stuttering from using a SBLive in many games back 14 years ago too.

I also tried A Vortex 2 card and it still happens.

Is CD audio running? If so, try running with the -nocdaudio switch.

Mine stutters with CD audio going, but it's smooth as silk without. I haven't found the cause of the issue though. I'd love to get the NIN tracks going.

Format fixed it. Probably a virus.
