EDIT 6-26-07
The latest Windows Update containing an Nvidia SATA driver and update Marvell Wireless N driver has solved the problem.
If it doesn't work for you - you can still use the fix below.
 
I've found a fix that worked well. If many are sharing my frustration with the 45-60 second sound stutter - this is the only thing that worked.
By the way, my Belkin USB N card does the same thing...
 

This is not the best solution, but it works:

Connect to your wireless N network

Run the command prompt as admin:

type the following:

netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Linksys Wireless"

substituting inside the quotes for your network connection name (typically "Wireless Network Connection"

before you log off - or when you first log on, type the same command except change enabled=no to enabled=yes

It's a cheap fix, but it solves the 45-60 second stutter in Vista with Wireless N networking.

I put a couple of batch files on my desktop to automate this.

Enjoy.

One other note - If you make the batch files, right click and run as administrator or it won't work.

This interim solution worked for me as well...many thanks for the tip.  The stutter problem was driving me crazy.  Does anyone know if Linksys has or is planning a better fix for this problem?

Willie:
 
I'm pretty certain this is a USB Wireless N issue with Vista rather than a Linksys problem. I got frustrated and bought a Belkin USB N card and had the same problem.
 
Microsoft's Knowledge base has nothing on this which concerns me that they're not aware.
 
Let's hope the Wireless N crowd screams loud enough for someone to hear.
Kudos!

I thought I was a semi-advanced user ... but I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you talk about enabled=no  versus   enabled=yes and when to use either of the two. 
 
I created two files on my desktop with the strings you talk about and I've noticed that when I use the one with enabled=no, it doesn't work or seem to help at all.  But when I run the one with enabled=yes, it seems to resolve the problem.
 
So, can you please explain exactly when and why you talk about 2 different files, one with no and one with yes?  I'm sorry, but I must be missing something, probably just like missing the forest because of the trees!
 
Thank you ... and BTW, thanks for the fix ... I did change my system to run the new Marvell driver and also make it a static IP address, neither of which worked.  But your enabled=yes seemed to work perfectly.
 
I initially couldn't find anything anywhere about this problem and was literally ready to return my PC tomorrow thinking it was some strange undiagnosed problem ... now I don't have to.  I was lucky to find this info at the last minute -- much appreciated for the fix and info.

This workaround works great! Thanks! How much time did you invest to come up with this? I know I've spent several hours looking around before I found your post.

Is there any way to automate this completely? I've made a bat file that runs on startup that does the first part (enabled=no) but have yet to find a way to run a second bat file (enabled=yes) on shutdown, or restart. This is in Vista.

Glenn:
 
Here's my batch files (don't forget to right click and run as administrator):
 
enable.bat
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=yes interface="Wireless Network Connection"
 
disable.bat
netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wireless Network Connection"
 
Include the quotes!
To find the name of your interface=, go to the Vista Network and Sharing Center, then about halfway down the page, you'll see Connection.
 
Best of luck,
 
Bob

I'm having this problem but I'm runing Windows XP. Any ideas? It all started as soon as I started using this usb adapter. Stutter on Media Player, Streaming, etc.
Thanks,
Alex
