    Did this work properly before?  Or has it always had this problem since trying to use it with this computer?

     

    As a test, try shutting down (powering off) your computer.  Disconnect ALL of your USB devices, including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if it's not a laptop).  Use this procedure to reset the shuffle

    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer.  Do a Restore and sync if necessary, then see if there is improvement the next time you connect it.
