I am so thankful for the solution you suggested.  Now I am enjoying my music.  In fact I have a Bose speaker and was wondering why the sound was so distorted and the playback was getting slow.  Thank you and thank you.  You're a true blessing!!!  :generic:

You know what ... last night I was very happy with my computer ... sound was playing really good.  Today I played some music and the same problems are back.  Sound is distorted and playback is getting slower.  Maybe my desktop's audio card is bad.  I still have the warranty until October 2017.  Can I replace this at the store where I bought it?  I hope I can. 

 

Please advise.  Thanks.
