Problem with Windows sound samples.

[vale46]

Hi all, firstly hope this is the right forum
I have a real basic knowledge about pc's and want to learn more as i go with your help thanks.
I recently (4 months ago ish) formatted and everything runs spot on except i have a slight problem with the windows sound samples !
Example, when i click to empty the recycle bin the bin empties as i get a very short stutter of sound followed by the rest of the bin empty sound occuring after it has emptied !!! did that make sense ?
What im failing to explain is the windows sound samples seem to come 2 seconds after the event like it needs to catch up.This stutter before full sample applies to any beep, ding, dong or dung
Hope someone understands my babble.
Thanks for any response.

Hello V,
have you tried to reinstall your sound drivers?

HI Tmagic
Thanks for input
There lies the first problem, how do i find out what sound card i'm using ?
I looked in device manager but in the sound part there are about 4 different things showing.
I really am a novice here so simplified terms would be most appreciated
Cheers
V

Back again,
I checked my device manager and in the sounds section there was 5 headings all but one of them didnt let me use ao dissable the device so i guess there not used ? but one called "VIA Audio Controller" did allow me to update its driver, so i did !!!!!!
It seems to have sorted the problem i just hope i havent upset anything else.
The driver is called SIGMATEL CODEC if that means anything to anyone
Cheers
