Need help: Audio on my laptop keeps skipping

[usckk]

For the past 2 weeks, the audio on my Dell Inspiron E1505 stutters, any audio including streaming, cd's, AIM sounds, etc. They skipping makes it sound like my computer is playing a badly scratched up CD.

FYI I have a Audigy Sound Blaster.

Any ideas how to fix this?

dont let your battery explode

update the audio drivers and pray you didn't blow your speakers. plug in some external ones to be sure.

It's probably a wrong setting Go to ---> control panel---->sound and audio devices--->make sure the audio tab it is set to SB Audigy!, also under the audio tab, press the advanced button---> performace tab -->make sure both the sliders are set to the right. Sometimes games can change the audio settings without you knowing.
