aspire 5672 sound prob

im having a problem with my aspire 5672, my sound is really bad!!1 it's all chopy and stuff or slow.....i tried to defrag and clear some space from my hard dirve but nothing! so any suggestions on this problem???

 

Is your CPU running at 100% constantly? Try messing around with the Realtek software and other sound options, as I don't know much about your problem.

 

First up, try updating the audio driver. I'm guessing that this url works and is also what you need.

 

thx i tried the audio driver..and nothing the same thing my computer is running slow and like choppy sound and stufff...is there any software i can use or something to fix the computer performence?

 

You can check if it's the speakers by using external speakers/headphones. If they too sound choppy, it must be your driver. Uninstall your audio driver and go to Realtek's website and download those drivers. Btw, when you installed the drivers from Acer's website did you uninstall the one before?

 

thx i tried that too...but now my comp get's very sloooooowww...the sound and everything is just slow!....****! am i running out of options here? and just have to format the hdd?

Check that out. I had the same problem. I ended up needing a new motherboard. This sounds like a fairly common problem on this particular notebook. The fact the thing runs hotter than an oven probably doesn't help

 

Well, in that thread someone fixed it by defraggin' your hard drive. Try that then, I guess.

P.S. My customer service experience so far has been positive. I had sound problems (static through speakers, and the "loudness" increased when you used the touchpad. They sat on it for 3 days, and sent it back. Report was that the driver needed to be upgraded, and that they did that, tested it. When I got it back, it was in pristine condition. And they DO say on their webbie that if you want to keep your original packaging, do NOT send it in that box. When the notebook is returned to you, it will be in a brown box).

 

I'm having the same audio problem. The choppiness/slowness gets worse if you are doing any other tasks on the computer. Did you by chance also have extremely slow startup. Mine takes 3-4 minutes, something obviously is wrong. This started happening all of a sudden yesterday when I turned my computer on.

 

Unfortunately, this seems consistent with what others are reporting..you may need a motherboard replacement.

 

Check with the Acer ePower Management and see what the CPU Speed setting is.

 

Hello everyone.
I've been a pacient reader of this forums and a victim of Acer's PoorQA aswell.., buy I got to fix it!

I've installed this version of Windows: http://www.trackerx.com.ar/windowsce/
wich makes allmost all of the work itself.
It's an XP SP2 version that includes some patches.

I simply thought "if I didn't have this problem and it is not present in other OSs .. than it has to be a software issue" and so I decided to make a fresh install.

I've downloaded the CDs, booted up from the first one and installed this version of XP SP2 again. So far so good, I'm not experiencing problems or choppy sounds at all. I didn't even had to make a backup of my files neither.

So, if anyone still has faith and no money- take the chance!
I hope this helps. Oh! and something I can't stop saying: I'm sorry, I know my english is not very good looking

Saludos desde Argentina,

I wound suggest you also update you realtek sound drivers from they site not acer and grab newest bios
