Very strange...my only guess would be EMI generated from your audio
chipset and/or the speakers in your laptop.
Is it really just the volume setting? I.E. if you "play" the audio
but with the volume turned down does everything work fine? Does the
performance continue to degrade as you increase the volume?
Wierd...I'm not sure what we can do about this...
