sound problem


Question Posted Sunday August 26 2007, 9:55 pm

My computer when I have the sound on it sounds distorted, like someone is making the sound sound goofy. I tried new speakers and everything what else could the problem be?

Try using my application-based problems guide:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If the first step(disabling everything) doesn't fix the problem, it is *definitely* hardware. If it does fix it, follow the rest of the guide.

If you have an audio card, update the drivers. You'll find instructions for this on your audio card manufacturer's website. If you don't know whether you have an audio card, you probably don't.

Check the cable on your speakers, it needs to be in completely. Try other speakers to see if they work.

If you don't have an audio card and other speakers have the same problem, it's your motherboard. It's much easier to replace the computer than switch a motherboard, so I recommend that.
