I have a Pent 1.4 with 1 Meg of RAM with an older Creative Sound Blaster PCI. Recently when I go to play a song with Media Player or any other player it plays with static and slower than normal. When I fully minimize Media Player it plays perfectly fine unless I move the mouse around and then I hear static again which fluctuates with mouse movement. The mouse does not slow the music at all but any movement or action (open program) causes bad static. Its strange but if I minimize the media player half way it still runs slower but not as slow. Fully minimized is perfect if I dont do anything. I ran all tests for sound and all checked fine. No conflicts. Tested speakers with MP3 and they are fine. Switched to a different sound card with same static. Updated drivers – still happens. Ran a full diagnostic on the PC and all was fine. My next step is to light a candle in Church…HELP I need my sound back!!

Sounds like a glitch with Windows Media Player, download the latest version of Windows Media player from the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/9series/default.aspx
Install that and see if it fixes your problem. If not, try restoring your computer to a date that you did NOT have problems with your audio quality.
If you still have audio quality problems, try playing music from a CD or from the hard drive (whichever you haven’t tried). If one works and the other doesn’t, you’ve found the source of your problems.

could be a bad wire some place in your speaker wire setup

If you have static it’s either the speakers or the wires or connectors that connect the speaker to the computer, the need to be replaced
