Good morning.
My hard drive in my $300 two year old gateway went. Instead of buying a new computer, I had a new hard drive installed and itunes transferred. Ever since, I have this bizarre buzzing/staggering sound when playing video and audio online, and audio even off line. It is like a staccato sound, where the sound/picture freezes repeatedly for a second or two repeatedly, sometimes so bad that I can't watch or listen. And then web became super slow. I have Avast and K9 which I know don't always play nicely, but even after I removed K9, the audio/video still happens. I installed and ran something from Tweaking that seemed to have good feedback in my hope of dealing with the sound, but it did not help, although the web seems to have slowed. I removed that, and after removing K9 also, the web seems better. Any thoughts? Thanks.
