Alright, I'm not any good with computers and I'm not familiar with what stuff are called... But well, I can tell my computer has problems. More specifically, my sound goes funny most of the time. I've read through some other topics and their sounds go funny when something is plugged in or other things. But mine just seems that it won't play any sound. I can only watch 2 seconds of youtube and it will stop after the sound stops. Very.. weird. I'm not sure if someone can tell me whats wrong off the bat or work this out with me.. asking more specific questions.. step by step solutions... that would be great. :) TY

What he means:
Is the computer a laptop or desktop system? Was it manufactured (Dell, HP, etc.) or custom built?
As for the device manager:
Right click 'My Computer', select the 'Hardware' tab, and click the device manager button. Check if any devices there are listed as not working properly.

Oh okay. Its a custom-build desktop, and everything working fine according to the device manager

In Device Manager, what do you have listed under "Sound, video, and Game Controllers"?
