Hi Barbara,
I need some more help from the Sound Queen! My sound is great, but I am trying to help my little brother fix his computer. I attached his Everest Stats below. The problem is that when he tries to play any sound -- it sounds more like a helicopter of static or tut tut tut tut tut, if that makes any sense. Sometimes he can pick out strands of whatever he is trying to listen to, but not really. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jenn
