Have you ever heard of this probem... when playing back music in Windows Media Player....towards the end of every track that I have ripped to my hard drive there is distortion about 5 - 15 secs before the end, it's not really a problem but something is obviously not working correctly. I noticed on another user forum someone with a DELL had this problem and there was a download patch available to stop this happening...is there one for a VAIO ? or has anyone else had this problem ? Thanks.
