I bought a new laptop about a week ago and the sound will randomly get quiet and muffled sometimes making a popping noise before, happening with both headphones and the laptop speakers. Most of the time it doesn't last for more than around 5-6 seconds, but it seems to be happening more often. I've tried updating and uninstalling/reinstalling the driver but I'm still having the problem. It's a Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 sound card operating on vista.


Thanks in advance.
