this is weird....someone sat on my laptop (it was closed) ever since some of my (randomly) MP3 sometime (with no warning) start to play slugish, or produce strange noise. i use my laptop music as playback for my show (i'm a singer ). i guess i got a problem. Help Please. thank you all admin and members of this great site.

Well first off, what application are you using to play the music?

hi....i use Winamp.

Try it with a different music player(iTunes, Windows Media Player...ect)

I can't see how this could be software related really. Is it the same tracks that have a problem with playback tamidshar?
If the Laptop was working fine before hand i would say that this is a hardware problem.
It could 'possibly' be the sound card overheating.

hi and thanks for the responds...yes, it works fine befors that incident. i think it is hardware too...if its the sound card how hard/easy it is to replace it. btw everything else works fine ( Toshiba Satelite P10 S 429 )

Vidster: I had the same issue on my computer ONLY with Winamp :\ Worked fine with iTunes

But Rob did someone sit on yours when it quit working?
My hillbilly logic would say its a hardware "CRUNCH" PROBLEM.
