Guest dennisW Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 I noticed that the voice & music sounds from speakers on a friend's pc sounds slightly distorted when playing video (email wmv,eml attachments; youtube videos; etc). I can understand voices + hear music but they sound like they've been sucking Helium. I tried the sound & hardware trouble shooting in Help. Sound, voicde playback device: Realtek AC97 Audio. Settings = 'Full', 'Best'. MIDI music playback='Microsoft GS wavetable SW Synth'. Not sure if the sound was always like this. Is the only solution to find new sound driver or replace older speakers ? Can someone suggest solutions? I apologize for what could be a simple problem. Thanks.
Guest dennisW Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 RE: speaker voice + music sound distorted quick note: on Sounds tab, sound scheme is blank ('No sounds', 'Windows default') but Voice playback device listed as shown below. Normal Windows system sounds also sound sl. distorted.

Guest Bob I Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Re: speaker voice + music sound distorted Hearing the "chipmunks" indicates that the incorrect driver was applied to the system for the sound card. It could be the result of someone "updating" the drivers using windows update. Go to the sound card properties in Device Manager and on the driver tab, Select "Rollback driver". dennisW wrote: > I noticed that the voice & music sounds from speakers on a friend's pc sounds > slightly distorted when playing video (email wmv,eml attachments; youtube > videos; etc).
