Direct Sound or wav out? Try changing these settings, also see if moving the slider to more skip resistant helps.

Settings.. in playback options.

>> Copy mode:ModeBurstBigBuffer

Digital Secure Mode May Help.

Its not a problem with the playback settings.  I copied the files onto my Mac and played them through iTunes.  Result = same sound problems.
