Hello I'm having trouble with my sound drivers . The sound is either too quiet or too bassy. I tried to download the Realtek drivers but whenever I try to do so I end up getting the wrong driver or the wrong sound manager keeps coming up. That looks like this: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7139/asusrealtekhdgui.jpg this is Identified as a Black/silver Speaker Icon. The One I used to have had a brown Icon and a different screen . It looks like this. http://communities.intel.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-172994-230617/Realtek+HD.png this one had the correct sound and didn't sound like if it were under water and/or in a can. So which one has the Brown Icon and the second Sound Manager?

Thank You.

The software must be applying some effects, it would surprise me if you couldn't turn them off. Both sound managers should sound identical with all effects turned off.

That said, i assume you have an Asus computer? It looks like they customized the app, so if you download the drivers from the Asus website, you'll get this version. To get the one you want, go to the realtek website instead.

...unless you didn't get the app from the asus website, in which case i'm not sure what's going on.
