acer aspire one sound problems?

Hey-- I am having problems with my acer aspire one netbook. For some reason, when I play music through my netbook's speakers, the sound starts skipping and the computer crashes and often goes to the BSOD. But the second i plug in an external sound source such as headphones, into the sound port-- the problem is cleared and the system goes to normal and no sound glitches.

What's wrong?

I'd first check for updates to the drivers - I got several as optional through Windows Update.

 

I don't want to alarm you as this is possibly/probably not your problem, unless you like it loud, but I think it is worth mentioning.

U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" killed the HardDrive :shock: Any comment would be superfluous :mrgreen:
You will note that the date of the article is not April 1st, I had to double check

All the best, woz of oz

 

lol, mine doesn't go into BSOD, but mine does freeze. Until after a while, it's completely operational. I guess it's the Power source problem. Not enough current in the 5V railing.

 

Why would you put windows vista on the acer aspire one? Windows 7 runs well on it, but I like xp for the netbooks. It's simple and that's what netbooks are for.

I haven't been using the forum lately, but I'm using xp now
I don't like vista.
