So my dads computer isn't that new, in fact its a P4 system.
It was pretty much just bought to do daily computer tasks like send email and the occasional youtube. Was put together around 3 years ago. It has about 768mb RAM 2.4GHz (i think) CPU...built in videocard (missing driver) and a newly bought Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1 sound card.

Heres the problem, last week he bought new logitech speakers. When I replaced his old speakers (which worked fine just bad quality) the computers audio began to lagg (it originally ran on the stock sound card). So i bought him a new sound card thinking it would solve the problem.

HOWEVER, after install anthe sound car and everything, the problem still persists. The sound (ie. music, videos, msn log in...even the ding you get from testing the volume) laggs like HELL...like it will be all choppy and slowed down. It is especially slow when the computer is doing something like starting up a new program ect.

How can I solve this? is it because theres no display driver causing the computer to lag? the display does lag somewhat but not a problem. what else can be causing this lag?

any help is appreciated!
