Lately my computer has been lagging quite a bit, i don't know if it's because of service pack 1 or what, but it was fine til like 2 weeks ago. for starters, I'm annoyed because with a Q6600, 2GB of ram (soon to be 4), and an 8800GTS, i shouldn't lag on anything. but anyway, ever since I started lagging (mostly internet lag only- yes i know my hardware has little to do with this) my sound gets jacked up. it does this weird static like sounds so i can't even listen to it. now, it's not always laggy, but if i say, open up 2 or 3 new tabs in firefox at once, the internet will slow for a few seconds and my music gets awful sounding. i've tried winamp, vlc, and jet audio, but it happens with all of them. could it be because I'm running sound off my mobo, and if so is there a way i can check if that is the problem? if that isn't the case, what else could be the problem? I've always had really fast internet where i am (speed.io says about 7-8Mbps down).
This brings me to another situation. speed.io has always said my down and up are excellent, but randomly as of the past few weeks I've been getting sometimes excellent but sometimes very slow ping and/or number of connections rating. i just got a job at best buy so once my discount kicks in I'm planning on getting a gigabit router since my current one is about 5 years old, but could there be another problem? i tried looking at the settings for the router, but even after i reset it, it wont let me access it using the generic username and password the manual told me to use.
SUMMARY: my internet can stream video just fine (ex. Revision3) but sometimes randomly the audio to those shows is scratchy, and my media players for audio are getting bad when websites take to long to load.
As always, all help is well appreciated. Thanks!
