Help with audio

[carlos_e927]

the past couple of days i have not been able to play music, watch videos, either on my computer drives or online because it seems everytime i try to play any type of audio. Everytime it starts play, it sounds like its playing in slow motion. THis happens even when an ineternet browswer click sound is played.

i don't know if any virus is causing or something is just wrong with my speakers. video also slows down so that is why i don't think its a speaker problem. i was running low on hard drive space but i cleared a lot of it off but it is still doing it. please help!!!

How low on hard drive space? How much Ram have you got?

Can you defrag?

 

[carlos_e927]

i got 49 GB free. 1.83 GHz, 1.00 GB of Ram

 

[carlos_e927]

imma try to defag right now

After that, if you are using IDE (Pata) drives, enter Device Manager and click the + sign beside IDE controllers, double click on the Primary IDE and then in the new window click on the 'Advanced Settings' and check that the Transfer Mode is DMA (not PIO) and that the current mode is DMA.

defrag is done. device manager step is done as well.

And the result? (so much suspense)

I think this is a Sound card driver issue

You should download the latest sound driver for your computer (make and model? Windows version?)

 

[savythirsty]

are you running winxp or vista?
disable audio enhancements if you are running on vista, would be a good idea to update you directx as well

 

[carlos_e927]

result is still the same

Well carlos_e927, since getting you to provide any useful info is like pulling hens' teeth, I give up.

Try a re-install.

im noticing the computer is working slower now as well. when i move the mouse around it looks like its going in slow motion too. sometimes. not all the time though.

i went to the website and look for my computer series and i wasn't able to find it.

i have a Fujitsu N 6410. The N series was not there. i don't know what to do!!

Just copying and pasting here:

PRODUCT SEARCH BY SERIAL-/IDENTNUMBER

 

[carlos_e927]

i typed it in and it couldn't find it. i downloaded the software to locate it and it came up as -not available-

 

[kimsland]

Can you just try it again
I've noticed that some of these sites you need to first install the ActiveX, then start all over again to view it

 

[carlos_e927]

i re-installed active x and tried it again and still nothing. The serial number is R6605588

 

[kimsland]

Ok well edit out your sn, but I'll try in the mean time anyway!
But your computer what's the actual Model number? We'll go down that track if I can't get it too.
