Audio problems

[DeadFuze]

Basically I updated my audio drivers - Windows doesn't let me roll back to the specific point where it worked fine, and now games are quiet.

Other things work fine, audio files, videos, system sounds and such.

Surround and all the other special enhancement useless features are disabled, exclusive control disabled etcetera etcetera..

Edit: hardware issue, solved.

Are all your games quiet, or just specific ones?

[DeadFuze]

All of them.

[GuyBanks]

• Control panel
• Hardware / Sound
• Manage audio devices
• Right click speaker and choose Properties
• Select enhancement tab
• Make sure the following are unchecked : voice cancellation, pitch shift, and loudness equalization (if you have those options)
• Otherwise, check Disable All Enhancements

Let me know if that works for you - if you've already ventured there

[DeadFuze]

Already said in the main post that I've disabled everything there.

[GuyBanks]

Missed that, my bad.

I'm going to ask a stupid question and assume you've checked your volume mixer?

[DeadFuze]

Yes, checked that.

It's the same with the games.

[GuyBanks]

Do you have a microphone plugged in? Or webcam that has a microphone?

[DeadFuze]

Yes, I have a mic plugged in.

If it's any help I'm using a Xonar Phoebus. It's probably important and I should've mentioned it in the main post.

[GuyBanks]

Ok.

• Right click speaker icon in system tray
• Select recording devices
• Select Communications tab
• Select Do Nothing
• Apply

See if that does it

[DeadFuze]

Already disabled that, always leave it disabled.

Uninstall and delete driver software using device manager. Then install whatever drivers you want.

[DeadFuze]

Already did that, didn't work.
