PROBLEM with sound HELP

Hey buddys I need help urgently.... since like one week.. a had problem with sound when i play music.. I mean.. when i start playing music on media player, the music sounds like when a cd is damage.. for instantlys stop and continue its not all time. but constantly. but is music from my HArd drive. so it shouldnt be happenign... I dont know why is that. i thougt that was problem from my speacker but it isnt i conect an external speacker and the problem persist.. i dont know what to do! i need help this laptop is new and fast. i have a gateway adm turion 64 2.0 with 1024mb ram.. and 120 gb 4200rpm hard drive! with windows media center edition

 

1) get rid of unneeded processes
2) restarting the computer always helps
3) don't run a bunch of programs at once while listening to music (this shouldn't be an issue since you have a new computer)

1 and 2 usually takes care of it.

 

oh thnx bro.. but what i dont understant. is why is this happenign. i mean.. this is a new and fast computer!.. it shouldnt be happenign..

 

Yeah, I know. Many new computers come with a lot of what is now being dubbed as "bloatware." This means that you get a lot of crap programs being touted as "free software." Many of these programs waste processing time, increase the memory load and irritate you and me.

If you want to start fresh and not have to deal with all this, back up your data and format your new machine. That way, you will install only the programs you need, not the programs that help a vendor sell notebooks or promote companies.

 

yep. i think that. BUt. wat about the drivers?? the notebook only bring a cd called " gateway windows xp media center versio 2005 with update rollup2 operating system disc"
Use this disc to re-install your operating system..

with only this cd i can format the notebook and instal windows with all the drivers ??

 

Check online, see if you can find updated drivers for your notebook's sound card. Have you checked on Gateway's site for newer drivers for your notebook?

hey do u think that it could be the problem?? well i can try doing what u say to me.. but this notebook is new!.. and if u think that it can be the problem. how i check for updates??

 

@iatr86 -

Try killing processes (cntrl+shift+esc) and dump out what you don't need from your startup folder into the trash. There really isn't anything you might miss from your startup folder.
