| 601264 | 2007-10-14 09:07:00 | Has anyone else noticed that their sound quality has gone bad in the last couple of weeks? My sub output is almost non existant. It's ok when I use Linux. But I don't want to use Linux all the time. I was wondering if there was a duff update. | Phil B (648) | ||
| 601265 | 2007-10-14 09:10:00 | Now that you mention it, I have noticed over the last few days that any music being played had to be increased on the speakers to get the same level of loudness> Just thought it was by hearing:p Thinking more about it - I got removable hard Drives, and if I switch back to XP and play the same song it is slightly louder. ( they are comming from my server, hence same music track) |

| 601267 | 2007-10-14 09:32:00 | I haven't noticed any sound differences with Vista. Mind you, I'm running a Creative Audigy 2 ZS card (with unofficial drivers - H/W Dolby and DTS decoding :D) |

| 601268 | 2007-10-15 02:11:00 | I recently changed from onboard sound to an X-Fi Soundblaster, and in some applications have found I have no mid range, and the X-Fi has to be force fed to create the bass (Enabling various function in the software console). Although not a problem, it is a bit disconcerting, and certainly not something I'm wholly happy with. I'm looking to the next driver to solve my problems which I'm going to download tonight! So fingers crossed! |

| 601269 | 2007-10-15 05:36:00 | Nope, no problems on Vista Home premium. Check on the MS KB website if any updates have caused similar issues or re-install your sound drivers. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 601270 | 2007-10-15 07:37:00 | I just checked my installed updates & found 18 had failed installations. I'll try uninstalling & re-updating again | Phil B (648) | ||
| 601271 | 2007-10-17 08:59:00 | Fixed the failed updates. KB935807 didn't want to know, it needed 3 goes at installing it before it succeeded, then all the others changed to successful. I had to uninstall & install a few before I got to that one. Played with the sound. It depends on the media player I'm using. I found that PowerDVD7 is the best for sound & video. To get the best sound, set up windows media player sound how you like it through the graphic equaliser & even though the sound is horrible (it is on mine) clipping & volume wavering etc, but the tone is right. Then play it through Power DVD & it's good But not as good as XP's. I might have to revert back, maybe. |
