    I had a similar problem with the previous alienware I had... Something like when i was generally doing stuff, the sound would suddenly freeze and stretch for 1-2 seconds.. If this sounds like what is happening to your buddy's system, then here is how i fixed it... good clean install of windows! Never saw it again after that :)
