Weird audio problem

[srose]

Hi
I am running Windows 7 7600.16385.090713-1255_x64

I have a Creative X-FI X-Treme Music soundcard with Creatives beta Windows 7 driver installed.

The problem just started today. I am listening to music and after a while the audio went strange. It seemed to fade and I could not hear the voices in it only the guitar and drums which also went quiter a bit.

Does anyone know how I can resolve this?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem you described.

Did you manage to fix it?

Try the Vista x64 driver and see if that makes a difference.

» Download Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic x64 2.09. 0007 sound card driver

Hi
It turned out that the speakers were not connected properly. They just needed pushed in further and it worked fine.

I'm running 32 bit Win 7.

It's a really weird problem. I've got sound fading in and fading out on some files. Some Youtube videos just pay a really quiet bassline.

The thing is windows sounds play fine over the top of this so it can't be a speaker problem.

I've got a Creative X-Fi Xtreme card.

Guess I'll just try another driver.

 

[Fisherking]

Yes try the Vista driver.

OK I worked it out

Apparently the Creative Control panel works out what speakers you're using. It incorrectly guessed I was using 7.1 speakers.

I changed it to headphone settings and it worked a charm
