sounds very slow

[Guest]

When i play an MP3 file or put a CD into the drive, the music is fine.
Internet radio and Windows sounds (start up, the mssage of assistants etc..)
are very slow and distorted. What can I do?
Thanks for your help

Check your advanced volume settings.. Particularly those centered around WAV
files.
And reinstall (or install) the latest sound card drivers.

You must know what sound card you have. Look on your receipt/invoice for
the computer - ask the people you bought the system from, open it up and
look, etc.

There are applications out there that can identify what hardware you have,
but I think they all depend on a properly installed system - as I think they
pull the information from the registry. Perhaps they do not - so I will
recommend you try two different ones:

EVEREST Home Edition

Belarc Advisor

Once you know what you have, what next? Go get the latest driver for your
hardware/OS from the manufacturer's web page. For example, let's say you
have an NVidia chipset video card or ATI video card, perhaps a Creative
Labs sound card or C-Media chipset sound card...
