Graham, I'm sorry for wasting your time, but my piece SHOULD have given YOU a
clue, if you had Vista. I thought this board was all about Vista.

Anyways, on Device Manager, I right-clicked the Sound Controller, and
clicked on "Manually Update Driver", because Windows Update wouldn't update
it. THAT'S what I meant by "there were no more updates". I only went to HP to
see if they had any drivers. But, they didn't.

So, now I un-installed and re-installed the driver that came with Vista (for
the sound card), and the static and choppiness is still there. And therefore,
I conclude that there's something wrong with either the machine (I doubt it
though...worked fine with XP), or with Vista.

How did you update your sound card drivers if HP do not have any? MS
versions are not normally compatible.

Sadly, the sound is still choppy.

The manufacturer of the computer (HP Laptop) doesn't have the drivers
because they don't service the model I have. (I upgraded to Vista, against
HP's suggestions.) However, everything else on my computer works fine. The
audio is the only part that's bad at the moment.
