Happy Holidays to everyone.

I just built a new machine for a relative, using a KT3 Ultra2, 1600xp, Geforce3 Golden Sample, Crucial PC2100 256MB, a D-Link NIC, a Seagate 40GB HD, Lite-On LTR48246S, and Lite-On DVD 16x. Along with the XP OS, the following software was included: Norton AV, Sygate Pro, Ad-aware plus, Adsubtract Pro, Win DVD Platinum, and EZCD Platinum (with two patches).

The computer was running fine the day I was there, but of course, problems are beginning to surface now that I'm not there. She says that all the computer audio is breaking up and sounds as if it's underwater, whether it's the OS's sound effects or playing an mp3. Again, the sound was crystal-clear when I was there just the other day. She's also getting script errors whenever using WMP.

I haven't seen this all for myself yet (I'll be dropping by tommorrow), but I thought I'd run it by this board just to see if anyone might have a guess as to where the conflict might be. Thanks.
