Toshiba A300 with stuttering sound

[Bogsdollox]

Anyone come across a similar problem?

 

I have two Toshiba A300s that stutter with any sound that is played on them. This includes Cds, DVDs, internet content, and even the startup/shutdown sounds on Windows XP. The only way I can describe it accurately is that whatever sound is stuttering sounds like rapid machine gun fire sounds that a kid would make while they're playing soldier games :s The latpop responsiveness slows down too while the stuttering is happening, the mouse sticks on the screen and only releases once the stuttering stops. Other A300s that were cloned from the same master are fine. Any ideas?

I have heard this recently and there is some info on the toshiba forums I believe a soundcard update is required,

We fixed this problem by upgrading the wireless LAN driver. I know it sounds weird but it conflicts with the sound driver, i still have the driver and if you want to try it PM me your email address and I will email over the driver as Toshiba sent it out to us.

Hi,

Toshiba A300 drivers and software required for connection to download files easily downloaded from the link.

I hope I could help.

I had the same on another toshiba. It turned out to be the memory. I replaced it and it worked fine after that.
