Call it a day, but leave the computer on for a while. Since it is a new computer and a new Windows installation, there are probably several background processes that will settle down after a while running idle. For instance, it might be building the index file of everything on your hard drive to make search quicker. However, most of these processes pause while the user is attempting to do something.
If leaving it running a while undisturbed and then rebooting does not help, you may need new audio drivers from the manufacturer. This is especially true if using a 64 bit edition of Windows 7. *Don Marang* Vinux Package Development Coordinator - vinuxproject.org <http://www.vinuxproject.org/> On 2/5/2012 4:14 PM, Kevin Andrews wrote: > This might be way out there but I would double check to see that Jaws > is utilizing the proper soundcard.
