I'm not 100% sure what's wrong here, but I'll explain.

I have astro a40s. Every night, I unplug the headset from the mix amp because I have a 5 month old kitten who just loves to chew everything. Now, today, I plugged it in and something said "Installing drivers" I found this odd, but let it download. Then, it failed. Now, it sounds like Dolby digital 5.1 isn't working.

It's very echoy I suppose. To best explain it: when I listen to a song on iTunes, I can hear the instruments better than whomever can be singing, and it all sounds like crap. I re-installed the mix amp drivers, I re-installed my drivers for my sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1) and it still isn't work. Restarted, shut down my computer, unplugged etc. as well.

I don't think anything is broken, as this just happened because I plugged the headphones back in. Any ideas?

Oddly enough, when I test SPDIF, it sounds much better than anything else. Really odd.
