Audio glitch/fuzz split second on Vista?

Question

I am using Windows Vists Home Premium on my Toshiva A100-027 laptop I bought recently and when I play music and open, close programs, windows and do stuf on the computer, the audio ocassionally glitches or fuzzes for like half a second or near 1 second. The sound a bit like the fuzz on the TV when there is signal on Analogue. It isn't a major problem but it is slightly annoying when it does it.

Would this be a bug in Vista that will be fixed with a new windows update at a later date, hardware, RAM?

My friend has the same laptop as me and doesn't have this though.

We both have 2Gb of RAM as we upgraded it recently.

Any help is much appriciated.

My friend is running many programs at once and still doesn't have this. It is usually just as I open or close or click the thing.

I have used Ubuntu linux before but this is offtopic. I prefer a resolution than saying Windows sucks lol.

Hi. Impressive knowledge! "when there is signal on Analogue". Usually this means the PC is trying to do too many things at once. Audio has a lower priority. You can try using Task Manager, right-click on the audio process and select Priority. Bump it up one notch at a time until the problem goes away.

Microsuck thanks you for debugging their Vista at your expense. After you find out what else wont work with Vista, you will be saying what other computer pros have said, "Why, o, why did I ever get Vista?" Next time, get smart and get open source software such as www.kubuntu.org
