I have recently changed my video card (which may have something to do with sound as well) to a cheap card (Nvidia GE Force GT620) and now it seems that when I watch a video, the music track is much louder than the spoken words. Am I imagining things? Or is this settable?
My old video card overheated, and so I bought a new one. Now, when I watch videos on the computer, it is often difficult to understand the spoken words, because the music track is much louder than the spoken track.
Are these sound tracks encoded separately in a video? Is it possible that different video/sound cards amplify these different tracks differently, making one louder than the other?
Are there any settings I can change, like a music panel with multiple frequency sliders?
My Volume Mixer control panel used to have multiple sliders (I think); now it has only one volume slider.
My old video card used to have an SPDIF (http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/600/2) connection to the mobo. The new card does not. Not sure if this makes any difference.
