Why can't I watch movies, or videos on my computer?

When I go to youtube, or anything that has videos, clips, or movies, I can’t watch them because it is like in slow motion. It keeps skipping. Also, why can’t I hear anything, I make sure my volume is turned all the way up, plug my head phones into the headphone plug in my tower, but still no sound. I have Microsoft Windows XP professional.

if theres any software there have a look for an updated version of your sound driver. if you know the make and model of your sound card/onboard go to the manufacturers website and get the latest driver from there… erm if the speakers are 100% ok and your sound is working and you cant hear anything like you said then i belive its a corrupted driver prob.. so get it updated and let me know if it sorts it out..
