Soundcard issue??! Help!

I'm having major issues with playing back any sounds on my computer.
Everything coming from the computer sounds as though it's slowed and broken.
That's the only way I can explain it. Kinda like Daft Punk's song "Funk soul
Brother" when the sample slows and breaks apart? Even the Windows sound
scheme blips are slowed and struggling. Any ideas? There's plenty of room on
the computer....latest version of directx...defraged...updated....I ran a
registry cleaner as well...

Windows version? How does this involve Windows Update?

I'm running Windows XP on an Acer 9400 laptop. It's not neccesarily a Windows
Update problem, of course, but I did a search in this forum and there were
sound issue posts elsewhere (just nothing similar to my problem). If this
question would be better addressed in another forum, please post the link.
This is my first call for help in a forum, PA Bear. I feel like I owe you a
prize or something!
