hello! i would like GET some information and support for a problem that i have with my laptop.
it is not the strongest one that we have now but he is good enough so he wont "SUFFER" from this kind of problem.
the problem is that music through the mp3 player such as itune or winamp, i.e. sounds bad.
there is peaks mostly when it comes to high frequencies like singing and stuff.
it just that the sound craps like prb prb prb prb prb prb prb.
now the computer is connected to small pc speakers but soon this laptop might stat play in a bigger sound system and it is really important to have a good quality then.
i switched for the speakers, i downloaded codecs and tried to update the drivers.
i also tried to evacuate some memory and closed a lots of programs.
it is not the problem with the file cause when i play it in my mp3 player for example it is sounds ok
so if anyone have a clue for this please fiends help me so i can enjoy from my music.
Some laptop's pick up allot of noise on the sound ports, if the Sound CARD a an optical out , i recommend you use that, as it receives less EMI.

Of course you sound system would have to have an Optical in..TRY it on headphones to see if the problem persists. Cheap speakers often produce crappy sound.  

Some laptops have sound better than others. Since you did not provide a MAKE or model we are left to wonder.
