New to windows 7 - poor audio output - help please !!!!!!!!
I have a DELL Precision 390 desktop (64bit) which for many years I was using Win XP Pro and was very happy with that especially the audio playback on windows media was very good for me.
I recently updated to Win 7 Pro, everything is fine apart from what I suspected was a deterioration in audio playback quality and volume. I find the audio settings limited compared to Win XP with no extensive controls. I am set to 16bit 41khz CD Quality.
If I set to Studio Quality, are there any advantages / disadvantages ?
I also download a lot of MP3 audio and burn CD's so I'm not sure if this lack of audio quality is being affected here too ?
I see these audio codecs on the web which I am reluctant about in respect of unwanted programs being installed etc..
Therefore can anyone advise a tried and tested codecs/drivers to improve my audio quality ? If so any particular settings I should select ?
I would appreciate very much for any help and advise please !!!!
