Well, my lap top is 1.5 years old and recently I am having trouble with the audio on my laptop’s DVD player.  
The audio sounds like it is stuttering and there are obviousdrops in the sound.  
Any ideas?

I had a similar problem. There some stuff you can try:

1. Is the HD cycling when the stuttering starts? If so, perhaps more ram or a defrag of your HD.

2. Update your sound drivers to whatever’s current. Ditto for display drivers.

3. Use a different program for DVDs. This was what actually “fixed” my problem, though the above steps might be useful anyway.

The HD didn’t cycle while the stuttering start. And I check the computer defragment report and it said the HD did not need defragment. I have 73% feespace.  
So you think it might be the sound drives?
