Sound lagging in vista . . help?

I have a sony vaio c25 and its perfect besides one thing, the damn sound keeps lagging. Mp3s and movies play fine but when it comes to sound effects it lags. Like when i hold down a key that triggers a sound it will basically lag. lol so hard to explain . . . basically if i press the button 4 times you would expect 4 sounds instead it will go DI . . DI . . DI . . DING. lol don't know how to explain it any better, i have read suggestions of turning down the hardware audio accelleration but i have no idea where it is in vista.

if anyone one these forums can help me out it will be much apprechiated . .

 

bumpage?

 

I turn off all sounds in Vista, only slows performance at the end of the day. Have you tried updating all your drivers?

 

yea i have tried updating the driver and still no help, and by the way this happens in games aswell, say i'm shooting 4 consecutive bullets the gun shot will do the same thing and lag out as in ba . . ba . . .ba . .bang, its driving me crazy . . .any other suggestions

 

check "disable audio enhancements" in sound settings.

 

just tied that and it worked for like a minute before lagging up again . .lol go tme excited too, any other thoughts?

 

Open your task manager and monitor the activities to see what shoots up when your system lags.
