Hi everyone!

Here's my problem. Every time I play music or videos on Windows Media Player or iTunes or even Yahoo! Radio, the sound/audio is very scratchy and it lags the song abit. Like it was fine this morning when I turned on my computer, then it suddenly started acting like that.

Can anyone help me with this? It's really starting to get on my nerves hearing the weird sound. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

Maybe when you turn on your computer in the morning and open up wmp to listen to your favorite tune. You'll be like
"Oh it's fixed."

Then you'll never read this thread you've made ever again.

If you didn't catch it, my only advice would be to just restart your computer.

that's exactly the first thing i did, restarted my laptop. however, it still did the same thing! so i restarted it for sooo many times! ughh it pissed me off badly.

but you know what i noticed, if i run a couple other programs, it starts doing that. like if i run media player AND firefox, it's scratchy. it wasn't like that before. i ran more programs before and it still worked perfectly.

i have a question though. i download a few dramas so does that affect my laptop somehow? but i didn't even use up half of my harddrive's capacity though.

i dunno. i just wanna know why it's like that.

anyone?? i'm still having trouble at times. i really want to get rid of the scratchiness even if i run more programs at the same time.

Would it still give you problems if you opended up media player and... microsoft word?

Firefox might have a plugin thats giving you problems.

You might have enabled some equalizer option.

You might want to update your drivers/reinstall drivers.

Or don't go nuts and spend $20 on a sound card.

i tried doing system restore just to see if it fixes it and it did! the sound is okay now even if i run like 4 or more programs. thanks for trying to help though
