All the sudden today, whenever I listen to music (on any application, youtube, itunes, windows media player), it sounds horrible. It skips, almost like the computer is skipping parts of the song, or like it's a really bad copy/corrupted file. I've tried updating the drivers, uninstalling the drivers, doing a virus scan, updating the codecs...nothing. I have a laptop, with windows 10 and it's not overwhelmed with files or anything. it's like some stupid file isn't updating or something. Anyone have any ideas?
Try a system restore back to a couple of days ago or the last time you listened to music normally on the laptop.
Do you have small children? A drunk wife of gf? Do you have a drinking problem? Sounds like liquid got dumped in the laptop.
Dame came over and used his laptop... It's the only possible drunken person who could do it... That or A LOT of dried up semen that has woven itself into the laptop
That's what you think. However I'm not going to take computer advice from a dog, you don't even have any thumbs.
I set it back to 1986, and it works fine. Actually, no idea why because I haven't done anything to the computer for about 3 days, but your idea fixed whatever the issue was.
No, it went well. I just had other things I was doing (working on my car, and a friends car) and by the time i finished, I pretty much fell into bed and didn't check the laptop until this morning.
Well, that lasted for less than a week. It's back to having a weird skip sound with videos and audios. I tried the restore to a previous day and that didn't work,and then I tried downloaded tweaking.com (which had fixed a similar problem for others) to no avail. I'm guessing it's a RAM issue. I have 4 gb's RAM (says 3.48 usable) 64 bit operating system, x64-based processor AMD A4-3305M APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.90 GHz
I seemed to have stumbled onto the solution. I turn off my wifi (airplane mode) and it seems clear now. I'm googling as to why that matters.
Latest Windows 7 patch is causing trouble for a hand full of users. I fall into this category and it seems to have caused minor problems for my system. I'm sure it's all part of their "Join windows 10" ploy. Still can't believe they had me scheduled for an update that I did not approve!!! What kind of company is going to F over users in order to get them to upgrade? Why do they want us to upgrade so bad? I'm still highly skeptical. Think about it... It's free (used to cost a pretty penny to upgrade windows) and they really want people to upgrade to it. I remember a saying I heard growing up "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is".
