I'm using the biggest file thinking that we make it better then the smaller..
It is all so agrivating..

How much memory does it have and what is the processor speed? These could be causing your drop-outs if there is not enough memory. Have you tried defragmenting your C: drive? That could help as the less fragmentation the faster the loading of programs and files.
The larger files mean less compression, so actually the larger size is better as long as you have enough hard drive space for them. I don't think there is anything wrong in the files themselves causing the drop-outs. It would have to be either the sound card or the amount of memory and processor speed. You could check and see (when you are looking for the battery) if they have any driver updates for that laptop.
For volume control if you are talking about the speaker icon in the task bar that is missing, then go to the Control Panel\Sounds and Audio Devices. In that window there is a check box for "Place Volume Control in Task Bar." If it is checked uncheck it hit the Apply button then check it again and hit the Apply again and that should put it back.
