Repair distorted sound in Windows XP / Windows Vista

Recently, I observed this mysterious phenomena on a few computers, including my sister's laptop: One fine day, the computer begins to stutter, literally. When you play a piece of music or a movie, the sound will be chopped up and it will repeat itself.

Sometimes the problems will go away when you install an "important update" from Microsoft. Other times, you can only clear the problem with a fresh installation of Windows.

I have found a workaround to this: introducing the Tritton Sound Bite USB portable speakers. Not only does it give great sound, it also solves the problem completely.

Tip: If you are in Singapore, you can only buy this type of speaker at Harvey Norman stores. Sim Lim Square does not sell it - I have once searched the whole building in vain.
