sound issue

Can any of you help prevent me from making a pc size hole in the lounge window.
Having had a number of performance issues and using the advice from this forum previously i resolved them and PC is running much better..... with one exception.
The sound when playing music was like the lead singer was performing in the loo! Adjusted several settings and still no better decided to unistal sound driver software and reinstall. On restarting PC windows automatically installed software , now no sound at all despite device manager saying this device is working properly

any tips as usual greatfull accepted

Had the same problem in our household, and tucked away in the sound settings was an option for 'Concert Hall' setting - once this was unticked, the problem went away.

Some searching may be called for in your case, as you probably have a different sound card and driver, but .....

Thanks googler but found the problem to be a conflict between the recent update to vista service pack 2 downloaded the new driver and installed all is well again
