Okay, so here's a weird one. When I play any kind of video online, the playback audio is super stuttery, but the video itself will be (reletively) C655-S5049, with the only modification being that I have upgraded the RAM up to 4GB. Now for the odd part- the audio plays just fine if I don't have the focus on the window it's playing from. Changing tabs it's still stuttering, but if I minimize or change the focus to another window, then it sounds fine. I'm using Google Chrome on Win7, btw. Any ideas on this? Seems unusual that Windows would have a harder time playing the active windows, seeing as I have my power settings set to put more system resources on active programs over background ones.
