First of all, I'm really sorry if this isn't the right category to start this topc in.

I've never experienced any problems with my sound on my computer.
But due to some problems i had to reinstall my computer (format)
But now when i listen to music. for example one youtube
The sound lags sometimes and it crackles and it skips.
But this problem also occurs when i'm playing music or other sound related things on my computer.
For example if i put on a mp3 file in windows media player or winamp.

Does anyone know what the problem is? , And how i can fix this?

If you have the original install disks which came with the computer or motherboard reload the drivers for the sound circuitry.

If missing go to manufacturer's site and and look for drivers for this motherboard.

Find out which sound chips are in use either from motherboard manual or Device Manager -- you may then be able to find drivers from chip maker's site.

Could be other causes, but start with the above.

I got same problem after installing Windows Vista 32 or 64, Windows 7 beta so Iwent back with Windows XP and it works fine.

Like fihart said, it's drivers issue. Sometimes the confict is between video and audio programs/drivers.
