Hi, can anyone tell me if having a weird sort of wishy-washy gurgle sound when you play something in realplayer or any other media player be a sign of a virus? it only did it once, i closed realplayer, opened, and its played fine. Just curious. Thank you for your time!!

Probably not. Do you have an antivirus program, or firewall?

I have norton anti-virus, ad-aware SE and the only firewall i have is the one that came with my dsl service, but i'm planning on picking up the norton one in the next few days or so.

Have you run a virus scan lately, and updated your virus definitions recently? If so, then you have NOTHING to worry about.  ;D

    Sounds like a sound driver problem. (Sorry I could not resist). Go to start > run > dxdiag and run the sound tests. Results?
