My laptop is a Compaq nx6110 with 1 GB RAM.

Before Ubuntu, XP was originally installed on it and was not too slow. But after I installed Ubuntu 13.04 (replacing XP) it is too slow.

Even YouTube videos are not played continuously though the net speed is sufficient. Also the headset is not detected.

What can I do to fix this?

    Try Lubuntu. 1 GB is not much RAM. See here

  • Take a look at my answer Here. Using Gnome classic made it even better.

Install Lubuntu. It's an official alternative version of Ubuntu that is designed for older PC's like yours.

  • @user169886 Yes. Everything that runs in Ubuntu runs in Lubuntu too.

  • Also Xubuntu should work reasonably well

  • And you should opt in the html5 trial on youtube. Flash is resource hungry.youtube.com/html5
