Background music player

I have not tried on the other 2 yet. I am the beta tester for my company. I try things, learn about things, and work out things. I thought maybe it was a certain song but no. Its completely random. I updated the windows media player to 11 from 9.. still no dice.

I am at a loss.. it sounds like static from a tv and locks the soundcard.

With dual core processors and 3 gig of ram and over 70% free on the HD I should have plenty of resources.

I have checked the windows updates every day and it will show nothing then an hour later the yellow shield shows up and wants me to update more.. seems like at least once a day there is an update. So i keep doing them.

What could I be missing?

I am wondering are you listening through your laptop speakers or is this coming through your show system speakers. I know my Dell laptop's speakers are really bad sounding?

Open task manager when you are testing and watch the processes to see if Hoster's per centage of processor time starts climbing when you are playing the background audio. It should stay between 5 - 15%.

One thing that might work is to use a USB external sound card. Some of the people use them and swear they are better sounding.
