I have a Presario 2500
it uses a Conexant AC-Link Audio, I have installed the drivers I used in XP, I have tried using headphones, but the problem is still there, if you need any more information please ask, I really want windows 7 to work for me

First I would uninstall the audio drivers you used for XP and let Windows try to install the default drivers for the OS...if it can't than you need to go to your manufacture's website and get the drivers for vista x86/7 x86 from there...

Is this your computer?

yes, that is my computer, I tried the default the first time, and it had the same problem.
My friend is saying its because my sound card is incompatible :/

Ok...I may have found something...there was a thread a while ago just on the Conexant AC-Link Audio Driver...and someone said this would work

Conexant AC-Link Audio Driver

this may be a stupid question, but is there a certain place that I am supposed to install to, because when I just go though clicking next and yes, it says failure.

yeah download it to the desktop and then run as administrator...also run it in compatibility mode for Windows Vista

sweet, it got much better, now it just slows down every now and then, is there anyway to fix this?

The thread is a little long (no leak thread though...whew...) but it should belp you dive even further into this than I could...I really hope that it can resolve this very odd issue
