serious sound problem acer laptop

I've got a serious sound problem on my Acer Aspire 9410. First of all it takes about 5 minutes from hitting the power button to the Windows symbol is showing. When the welcome-to-windows-sound comes, it's played in half it's speed, with an awful metal-like touch to it.

When I get the desktop picture, it takes another five minutes before I can do anything. Finally up and running, my PC is very very slow...about 75-100% CPU just writing this thread...

All other sound, whether it's a CD, DVD or Youtube has this alien-like sound.

It's been at Acer's local tech support two times due to this, now it's a couple of months since last time. They have fixed it by setting the PC to an earlier date. But they haven't figured out why this thing happens...; the sound driver is ok, the sound card is ok, the harddrive is ok, there's no virus or anything. I've suspected everything. Even Norton 2006.

So, anyone who might be able to help?

Rune, Norway.

Re: serious sound problem acer laptop

I have a solution, this has happened to me and I recommend you to make a copy of all the important stuff you have in your computer. Then insert the window XP... Cd inside and reformat using the slow setting. Once done update your laptop with SP2,etc and with the drivers if your problem persist of you have any doubt of any of the process dont hesitate to contact at bhishm_ramchandani@hotmail.com

Re: serious sound problem acer laptop

Hi there
We have had the same problem with sound on our Acer. Did you ever manage to find a solution to the problem? It sounds as if the sound is made much too slow and using the computer for e.g. Skype is almost impossible. Un-installing Norton has helped but it doesn´t seem to be a permanent solution.
I keep my fingers crossed for a piece of good advice!

Re: serious sound problem acer laptop

I have got the very same problem with mine also, its a Acer Aspire 5100-3583, had it for 1 year, did anything work for you yet? It seems to be a common problem by just looking on this site. Thanks for any help
