Audio Problems

[Nick Soapdish]

i have a realtek card.

 

my sound isn't working right, it's all tinny and like it's not streaming or something but its from the hard drive.

 

audio codecs or something?

 

it came with my gigabyte mobo

Check the settings in Volume Mixer.

realtek generally blows, get a real soundcard...if thats not an option, uninstall audio playing programs and sound drivers you have installed right now, restart...then install updated drivers from your mobo's website, and audio codecs should install when you reinstall your players

[Nick Soapdish]

reinstalling drivers worked, phew.

You're not using the onboard soundcard are you? (and if no, you didn't buy a realtek sound card did you?)

My onboard sound drivers never worked for my Asus A8N-Sli mobo :\ (realtek)

i am using the onboard card.

I used to have the A8N premium and mine worked fine until I bought a card (x-fi platinum). Reinstall drivers?

You silly savior. Get a PCI sound card and take all that processing off your CPU

 

Allanon did you enable it in your bios?

I owned an x-fi card for about a week and returned it due to horrible popping/distortion issues occuring occasionally. My onboard sound wouldn't work after that - turns out I had to go into BIOS to re-enable the high def audio output (I can't remember the exact name for it - don't have the rig anymore). Check the BIOS and reinstall the drivers and it ought to work.

Also if you have just got a new PCI audio card you have to remember to completely disable the onboard sound card. Also many older motherboards (specifically Asus boards) have some issues with which slot your soundcard uses, usually the last slot on the board is a no go.

No I also forgot to plug in everything and breathe

 

Yes I did, my PSU is barely able to keep everything going on my backup comp so I'm a little confused... maybe I'll just sell the comp and build a new backup...
