I recently made a complete new box... new m/board etc, everything new except hard drive with Win XP pro on it. With previous setup (ie old motherboard and onboard sound) I only got sound through one speaker. With new setup... m/board with onboard sound I still only get sound through one speaker. I have reinstalled the Realtek AC97 sound drivers and no change. As I've swapped the m/board/sound card/drivers/speakers I'm thinking it's a problem somewhere in Windows, but all settings appear to be ok. Any suggestions?	Shortcircuit (1666)

387078	2005-09-09 12:06:00	have you checked or your settings like in (sounds and audio devices) it could be that your settings are only set to play in one of the speakers so just check all your settings and stuff	Mr_Rain313 (7944)

(I did have AC97 on the previous m/board as well) Pleeeease don't tell me that I should do a clean install for the 20th time :( I have checked all settings in AC97 device properties... volume, balance, stereo etc Have checked props in WMP Have reinstalled AC97 Have reinstalled DX9 Have cleaned my ears out (in desperation!) I'm thinking maybe I should go and buy a seperate sound card and see what happens then.	Shortcircuit (1666)
