i dont have a graphic card and when i play my music it sound funny. How can i fix it? is there a graphic card (software) i can download from the internet, or anything that can fix my sound promble
You have a graphics card. It's what your monitor is connected to. Do you mean you don't have a sound card? But no, you've got that too. It's what your speakers connect to. You must have that to play the music--funny sounding or not.
You can check in device manager--right click on 'my computer', choose 'properties' then 'device manager'--and see if all your hardware is set up right. Anything not set up will have a yellow ? or ! associated with it.
Crappy sound is often due to the speaker or speaker connection or wires.

Also test it with your headphone. Unplug the Speakers on your computer and test it if your head phone also sounds funny. If it does then your on board sound card has a problem or its driver.

As DAVINCAPS pointed out you do have both Graphics and Sound.
In your case they are integrated chips on the motherboard as opposed to add in cards.
Your integrated graphics works by using some of the system memory. So does the integrated sound.
If you don't have enough installed memory (RAM) the condition you describe can happen.
Also, the amount of system RAM dedicated to the integrated graphics may be adjustable. It may be set too high.
That setting is found in the BIOS screens.
Had you followed forum instructions and posted some specs on your computer we might have been able to get into more detail.
Download and run a program called SIW.exe. It can tell you all you need to know about your system. Get it at the link below.

May I further clarify the terminology. Cards are hardware which is inside the box (not software).
If you can get a picture on the screen, then you either have a graphics card or, as in your case, inbuilt graphics - both are hardware.
If you can get any type of sound, then you either have a sound card or, as in your case, inbuilt sound - both are hardware.
Drivers (software) are necessary to make the above things work properly.
As this is a sound problem, then it is nothing whatever to do with graphics drivers or graphics cards. If it should turn out to be a problem with the software, then it is sound drivers that you need. Sometimes they are part of a set of chipset drivers.
I hope this helps because unless the terminology is about right and understood, then it will be very difficult for anyone to properly discuss this issue and give meaningful advice.
