Sound


Question Posted Wednesday March 23 2005, 10:34 pm

My computer has been screwing up for the past few months. The sound is fine when I first turn it on, but after thirty minutes of so of listening to music, the sound goes away. What's up with that? Does it happen to anybody else? And also: when I have miniture pop-ups and I exit them, ALL the I.E. windows close. Can anyone identify what's wrong with my computer? It's not old, I just bought it last year, if it matters.

Could be any number of things...

Let's start with the first steps first.

Check out the free on-line virus scan at:

Next download AdAware:

Run this and clean the spyware off your computer.

Here's another thought: plug another set of speakers in, or headphones. See if it does the same thing. If so, it is NOT the speakers.

Now, if you still have the sound problem, let me know and we will go further.

Yes. You looked up too much porn and you now have a virus. Get norton. I recommend them. Also, download spy bot and adaware. Both free and very good progs for removing stuff that screws up your comp.

Could be a virus or adware/spyware running on your computer for the IE windows closing things. Your speakers might be going out, otherwise you might be having a problem with your sound card, you'd probably want to get this checked out. What company did you buy it from? If it's Dell, you've probably gotten a refurbished sound card in there that isn't completely working. As for HP or IBM, you've probably just got something screwed up in there pretty badly. Take it to a shop to get it checked out, sure it costs money, but it will help you out a lot better than we columnists can.
