Twitty,
Try putting a music CD or you tube and see if your speakers are malfunctioning.

Sorry, what? And i also have this problem if i plug my headphones in -____-

Does the problem occur just when browsing or could if be your laptop speaker's going bad?

It happens when just browsing or really doing anything i think because i exited out of chrome completely, played some music and it was fine. when i clciked chrome it just totally crackled up and came to a point where i had to turn it off..

it also happens if i do something else i think because it happens a little bit if i just drag the corners of itunes to make it bigger :/

edit: just not as bad. maybe just a little bit of pop

Sounds like your sound driver is not doing so well, failing any time there is any significant load on your system. Might try figuring out what sound device you have and downloading the official driver from the manufactuerers website...

I clicked update drivers but it says its up to date. is there a way i can get a different one?

The Howling Wolves said:

How about trying another browser, Firefox, Opera, or whatever to see if it happens there?
How are you hooked up to the internet? Maybe a bad cable or connection problem. IMHO

I tried Opera. The same thing happens but its less extreme. At some points its actually perfect. but if i go to a link or new tab it happens. it could just be because chrome is taking a lot more memory? idk
