Toshiba Laptop sound Distorted?

Toshiba A105-S4254

My laptop had a problem with the sound, I tried redownloading sound card and other fixes. Then I recovered it as I had other problems. It was fine for about 2 weeks now it is bad again. The sound is almost robotic at some points and lags the computer. Even when listening offline it slows the song down and lengthens it. I was wondering if I can fix it.

    I could think of two problems. One your speakers could be going out. You can try hooking up external speakers to see if the problem is still there. If so, your laptop speakers are fine. Next, your computer you just be sluggish or slow. This could be to performance issues, too many programs running, etc. You could run a spyware program through to clean out any malware, trojans, etc. You could also increase the RAM memory of the laptop by buying new ones if it is capable of increasing max memory. Try closing down programs you're not using, and check to see if the computer is using up a lot of memory and CPU in the Windows Task Manager under the Performance tab. (Hold Ctrl+Alt+Del to access Windows Task Manager). Most cases it could be just a sluggish computer if your sound and sound driver is fine.

    It may just b that your driver is missing and it is not showing that it is.. Or your sound card may be goingg out or yourSystemem may need to be reloaded.Norton is not a very good program due to the fact that once your supscribtion is done it will put viruses into your computer just so that you an re-order and use them..
