 Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 5:02 am Post subject: Win XP Sound "Problem" |
 |
|
Hi all,
I have a quick question.
My machine has deveolped an annoying habit lately wherein all my sounds have
an echo/reverb to them.
I've looked around in the system & I haven't found anything "unusual."
Anyone know what might cause such an "annoyance?"
Thanks,
Tom |

You may have a bad sound card. I've had a couple with a "Crystal"
chipset that did this, before turning into a lot of noise when they
completely failed.
if its not hardware, I' would do a good scan for virii and worms.
Some of them steal so many CPU cycles that it causes problems. Can you
watch streaming video without problems?

I've had that problem on a few PCs and it was fixed by uninstalling
the driver and reinstalling the driver. If that doesn't work, then it
could be what Michael mentioned. |

This may sound dumb, but have you checked your sound card setting? I
don't know which sound card you have but, Sound Blaster Live and above
models install special setting software to give you special effects
sounds like reverb. I have heard that some applications or games turn
on reverb for cool sound 3D effects but forget turn it off, do to bad
programming or crashes! So try this out first, make sure to turn off
sound effects.

That got it. Here I am an experienced tech & I didn't think of the simple
fix. :-)
Thanks for the idea.
