Its lagging like LP .. I tried everything. It happened after I installed ubuntu and then I had to fix Windows 7 boot sectors in order to swithc back to Win. I reinstalled the sound driver, checked for hardware accelaration - cant find such thing. It happens on offline and online music, with headphones and without, my CPU is not running on 100%. So what could be the reason ??
It means that it's using to much ram.
I am not an expert but I have Logitech X-530 speakers.
it could be any reason but my guess would be:
Cord Broken
RAM
Speakers Blown
or something else.
My best guess would be the RAM as stated above. ^
Yep I know this because it happened to me before.

cord? the speakers are built in ? If they are blown will they have sound at all? RAM is 870MB used from 2GB Any other ideas? It used to be fine before the linux stuff I mentioned
Try to disable and re enable the sound card through device manager.
did you tryed to update sound card?
Update the sound card driver.. You can Use Driver Genius Pro for auto updates..

No, I wouldn't recommend that, you want to know what updates that you install, and whether you install certain ones or not.
Back to the original post, is it lagging/skipping, or is it making weird noises over top of the track while it stays in it's regular tempo/timing? Update your sound card drivers, and check the audio sample rate, and bit depth as well. If you have any audio drivers installed I believe some of them have different options for buffer rate as well. Higher buffer rates require more CPU though.
Are you sure there isn't anything running that tries to take control of the device? some applications will do that.
What is the sound card that you are using currently just out of curiosity? I'm assuming it has worked before on Windows 7 that you previously had installed, so you just have some configuration issues to solve. Unless any outside applications are interfereing with it. You say your CPU isn't spiking at high levels, so I'm not relating it to a need for an upgrade in your computer hardware (RAM, etc..)
You could check your Event viewer to see if there's anything suspicious in there as well if you're familiar with that place.
Have you tried multiple different applications? (iTunes, WMP) or multiple different sound devices? (Headphones, speakers).
Just to rule those out, you might as well try.
