I just built my first PC (specs here: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Drofnib/saved/Qfn9TW), and after an initial problem with random crashing and restarting that I think I fixed by resetting and reinstalling drivers (though it did crash this morning...problem with RAM running at XMP profile 1? hope not, bc/ I just ordered two more sticks), all was well until...
The sound starting sounding horrible. I mean, awful, awful reverb type scratchy sound.
I do not have external speakers, just the ones in the monitor.
The machine shows three sound players: AMD High Def, Windows/Microsquash High Def, and Realtek High Def. I have tinkered with enabling and disabling them in different combinations, but sound still sucks.
Sound sucks whether or not I plug in the audio cord (in addition to HDMI). The sound doesn't suck right away. It teases me by playing light notes well, then gets awful when bass tries to kick in. For example, I start playing Europa Universalis IV and the sound is fine at first, but when the whole orchestra kicks in, electric nails on a blackboard.
Any suggestions on what I can do to make this better. Is it just the speakers in the monitor are that bad???
