Hi all Recently I've noticed my problem getting worse and worse. When I play music through any application, online or not, the music will chop, cut in and out, distort, slow down and overall sound terrible. I've included a link to a recording of an example of this. The times when you hear the more extreme examples and the music really goes bad is when I go a website, low memory ones such as a forum page or facebook. Other times the browser is minimised and on a dormant page, but the music still chops on and off. What should I do to stop this? What part of hardware do I need to upgrade?

Something like that happened similarly to my netbook after I accidentally mixed wrong tempo and frequencies in Audacity. I thought it was a hopeless case so I just suffered bad choppy playback for days. After how many weeks, it gradually fixed itself. I don't know what actually happened.
