Thread: Sounds Screwed UP

Ok so all of a sudden my headset, when using the usb conector, is really fucked up. The sound is very, very distorted and when I talk on the mic i'm told I sound like a robot. I've tried all my usb slot front and back.

Its not my headset b/c A) I used another one and it did the same thing, and B) When I plug it directly in the jacks in back it works....

Only problem is thats the slot for my regular sound to my tv and I dont wanna switch everytime I wanna watch a movie or w/e. I can plug directly in and get the sound to work perfectly... but apparently my dumbself cant get the mic to work. Either I dunno where the mic plug goes or something screwy is goin on. Im think I just havent found the right combo between jacks (5 of em) on back and recording devices in windows (I think 5 choices).

Any ideas people?

no help?

Whenever I install new sound drivers it always mutes my mics and I can't really unmute them. All I have to do is unplug the mic reinstall the drivers then plug them back in. It works

So, it used to work, with the same drivers you have now? But now multiple headsets have the same goofy-ness going on? But it works like a champ when you plug directly into the audio jacks?

What kind of sound card have you got? What have you changed recently? And it likely won't be a sound card driver if it's working when you plug directly into the card- More likely to be a mobo chipset driver, or something... I'm no expert, but if you confirm the data above I'll see what my little peanut of a brain and tired old synapses can come up with...
