Itunes/L4D issue...
Hey everybody, first of all, the pertinent specs:
Biostar TForce TP45HP Mobo
Q9400 @ 3.2 (with a Sunbeam Core Contact)
Nvidia GTX 260
OCZ Reapers (2x2gb) - 800mhz
Windows 7 64 7068 (I know, don't have an external HD to backup for the upgrade to 7100 yet)
Anyways, I realize iTunes has some issues with Windows 7..other than this problem, however, I have no qualms whatsoever. Hopefully someone knows something about this.
Anyway, I frequently play L4D with the volume turned down and my iTunes going (maybe not so much anymore, since I downloaded the Macho Man sound pack!). Anyway, it works fine, no crashes or anything, but right when I hit the loading screen for any campaign out of a lobby, the volume goes super quiet, prompting me to turn it the hell up so I can hear it. A few seconds of this pass by and the volume will crank back up to its normal level, which results in a super loud song for a few seconds (as I've had to turn it up a bunch). Then, unexplainably, the volume will go back down to the previous level of super quiet after a few seconds.
After this initial craziness, the volume stabilizes at the quiet level for the entirety of the campaign. It'll only spike back up when I quit L4D or when I start another campaign (always at the loading screen). It's weird.
Anyone have any ideas?
