I've been noticing lately that whenever I play an mp3 file that.....it doesn't happen as soon as I start to play it.....but if I'm searching the net or whatever,....just after several minutes or so, I start to hear pops, clicks, and skips, in the mp3. It's the same with any mp3 file, or even youtube vid, where the audio would pop, click, or basically skip, if you will.
I'm not running anything excessive, like even doing a Microsoft Word document....when I scroll down the page, if I'm listening to an mp3...I would hear the pops and the clicks.
I would stop the mp3 file...wait a couple seconds, play it again...and as soon as I play it, the pops and clicks would continue on...it wouldn't be till a long while after, of if I restart my computer that the pops and clicks would go away, at least till I played a mp3 or audio file, and do any work, which the process would happen again. I don't know if it has anything to do with the mouse, since the pops and clicks, sync up, with the movement of the mouse or when I use the scroll wheel.
And speaking of which...during the time I'm playing the mp3...or when I'm not playing an mp3, if I'm working online or on a program....I notice that if I drag the mouse across the screen it will hesitate for less than a forth of a sec, and continue on. Usually, I can move my mouse across the screen and it runs smooth, but a good percentage of the time, I would get hesitations. It ties in will the audio file skipping and popping.
So, I'm thinking both issues are related but can't figure or the reason/problem and how to fix it.
I've run all my spyware programs to see if it was a virus, but I don't think it's the case.
Riceman posted this below, a while back in another thread, when I was having computer freezing issues and didn't know whether the 1st option might be causing this, or something else, because both my wireless adapter and mouse, are USB connected, and sometimes, at least concerning my wireless adapter, it doesn't power up and I have to unplug it and plug it back in, or my computer tells me to plug it into a USB 2.0 port, which I did...but with that and the mouse issue, I don't know whether those two issues are related to why my audio is popping and such.
Any help would be appreciated

1st and most obvious is that you might have a corrupt cd or disk or usb item plugged into your computer at start up.
2nd. your cpu fan may be filthy and just needs some simple condensed air to clean it out.
3rd. you could have a dying power supply
(not likely unless you keep the computer on 24/7 and are running intense programs [or you have way too many disk drives or random unecessesary stuff i.e. zip drive, dvd drive and a dvd-r drive] and have been doing so for more than a year)
keep in mind if your power supply was dead, you would be getting no juice.
4th. your ram could be fried. but if your computer is actually booting, your ram is not fried. (ram are the memory sticks) to check this, once you boot up right click the "my computer" icon and select properties. the system properties page will tell you how much ram you are running. if the number is less than what its supposed to be, one of your sticks has died.[most computers are running on 512 MB these days but yours may be old and may only have 256MB]
5th. your mother board could be damaged but you would be getting error messages up the ass and it would be unable boot at all.
6th. your processor could be damaged from over clocking (not likely if you dont know computers or dont have someone in the house who plays brand new computer games), or the heat sink on it could be broken and its getting too hot too fast.
