Hi

On UTUBE and FilmOn TV, the sound has just become distorted and slow.

I don't know what has happened.

Is this fixable?

Thanks

    It's on my computer. I have Windows but not sure what number.

    And Google Chrome.

    It just started today.

    Never had a problem like this before.

    Thanks

    Laptop / Desktop ....External Speakers / Built in ... Other sound problems e.g. CDs / iPlayer ? I am not a dentist by the way so I don't like pulling teeth, unless we have the full info we can't help, have you tried head/ear phones?

    It's a Lenova laptop.

    I play songs on UTUBE every day and watch UK TV on FILMON.

    I am in Egypt.

    I have no CDs or headphones.

    Just UTUBE songs and FILMON TV and it is now distorted and slow.

    Thanks

    I know you will be mad with me.

    I turned off my internet connection a few times but it still happened.

    I have just shutdown completely and restarted and it's fine again.

    So sorry for wasting your time.

    Thanks

    I'd like to think I have plenty of time, but hey that's not my decision :A. However it could be a problem with the lappy getting too warm, or a dry joint between the sound card and the speakers. It may be worth checking with earphones(or headphones) My old lappy has intermittent problems with its internal speakers so I bought a usb soundbar which works very well(on all my various kit) I couldn't be bothered to sort out if it was the speakers or the sound card, it's my spare lappy I use for Windows 10 developers preview.

    Thanks DebitC.

    If it happens again I can ask you your advice?

    Right now I am listening to songs on UTUBE and watching UKTV in Egypt perfectly.

    No distortion like earlier today.

    Many thanks
