    Sometimes when I listen to music or watch movies for a while the sound gets all echoey and I have to close the program then re-open the file to fix it. What's wrong with the laptop?

    I have the most current Realtek driver from Acer's site.

    Do you have any enhancements enabled in the Realtek control panel? Are there any enhancements enabled in your music application that might cause this?

    I know it's a silly thing, but do you have your microphone muted?

    wow that sounded odd. :)
    ok control panel>open sound/audio manager> set Enviroment to none
    check the Loudness Equalization box.
    set Equalizer to rock (this has the best sound slope).
    Next.Default format Tab> set to DVD Default.
    then make sure in the speakers configuration the virtaul sorround is unchecked.
    then its down to you to set-up media player.

    mine sounds great now, the echo was bad sounds like someone singing in a tube. :(

    best of luck
    Phil :D

    I think what Hoggie suggested to do actually worked for me. It's been a while since I last heard these weird sounds.
