    1) I would make sure it is not the source which is causing the problem. You can play the same audio file on a friend's computer to test this.
    2) I would make sure you have the latest codecs. An easy way to test this is to see whether all audio files have this problem - e.g. WAV, MP3, MID, etc. Some audio files may be bad (due to bad codecs) while others may be fine. Even if you have 100 different audio players it really doesn't matter because they most likely all use the same codecs to play specific files.

    If both of the scenarios do not apply then it must be something wrong with your computer and it could be due to many things. From what I've read on these ASUS problems, the funny thing is that 99.9% of all the problems ASUS users report here on the forums are self-inflicted (e.g. the users are at fault for causing the problem for doing such things as installing malicious programs, attempted hardware modifications, unknowingly ran viruses, spilling soda on their laptops, etc.).
