Why is the sound level so low?

[babaghan]

I reinstalled Vista today, got all my drivers up to date, but the volume on my sound card dropped by 75% or more. I didn't change anything. I have all available gains maxed out. How do I get the volume back up to where it was before? The sound card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series.

Nevermind! The first audio test I did after the reinstall was to view a video review by Rodney Reynolds. Reading the thread below the video, someone asked, "Why is the volume so low?". I checked out some other of his video clips and the audio is normal. A big Homer D'OH!!!
