Help! My computer's making me INSANE !!!!?

ummmm i think the way your saying this is your sound card on your mother is bad... if it sounds like the sounds is comming out of the speakiers of your computer like listening to youtube or stuff like that then i would have to say your mother board sound is dead and you got two options.. A) you throw away the mother board and get a new one just like it same type and everything or a better one taht will sopport the proccesr you have orrrr B) buy a video card and install it in your mother bored and replace it by default from the one you have now thats bad... now if its your Computer like the tower/case then it could be your computer telling you hey something isnt right with me cheek me.. then it could be many things

go into your device manager and see if the sound card has updated drivers or if the HP site has them for your particular pc .just make sure it's for XP not vista or 7. if it's an added sound card then check it's website for them.---P.S. salvador's answer is way off the sound problem would have nothing to do with the video card.

A long shot - but easy to test: do you happen to be using wireless internet? Turn it off and see if it still happens with your local MP3s. I hear wireless can sometimes cause CPU spikes and hence stutters.

Good luck.

try to give your computer a good clean out with your hover mainly around your sound card and speaker if this dose not work then if you download sound max and install this it should b ok :)

reinstall audio driver.

use vlc media player or kmplayer.

my computer has already made me insane :D
