Your PC has a sound card that takes care of all sound that goes into and comes out of your computer. There are many different types of sound card, so if you don't know, check the manual that came with your PC or with your sound card to see which type you have. You can normally check the current settings of your sound card by going to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Multimedia > Devices, or to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Multimedia > Audio. You may also see some options under Start > Programs > 'Sound card name' (whatever your sound card is called). There are a few sound card settings it would be a good idea to check: a) The buffer setting.
