Music not jumping with timeline slider

Im making a movie with both audio and vidoe clips but whenever i move the
slider along the timeline, while it is paused, it replays the whole audio
clip when I press play to continue it.
So I can click ahead on the timeline to move ahead,say, 5 10 seconds, and
the video will move on but the music wont. So every time I want to check the
syncronization of the video and music I have to listen to the whole piece.
This is ok at the moment but eventually Im going to have to listen to about 5
mins of music to get to the point I want.
Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

it might be a codec issue... what type of source files are they and where
are they from?

The video file is .avi and the music file is mp3. I can convert the .mp3 to
different formats like .wav though.

That could solve the problem and often does.
You could either convert it to WAV or to WMA then import THAT clip into your
project in place of the MP3.
