In my system i did have sound blaster thingy
(cant remeber the name sorry) but it was playing up so i removed it and uninstalled its software and then just swapped to onboard sound. Since i did this, my sound has been up and down.
Through speakers i cant turn the volume up very loud, yet on a headset its great and goes very loud.
I use ventrillo or team speak and msn voice chat and on there i always sound very soft. All settings are maxed yet people cant hear me very well and say im so quiet..
Is this because im on board sound or is it software and are there any tests to perform to check, or should i just reformat?
