If you think this post is in the wrong section, you're probably right! But I can't seem to be able to locate the source of my problem so I just picked one. Sorry for any inconvenience!
I did a clean install of Windows 7 64x on my newly purchased SSD (Corsair Force 40GB) drive but had some issues regarding sound.
What's happening is when I either try and resize Winamp (while playing music) or listening to a HD video/song on youtube for some time (2-5 minutes, I think it depends on the intensity of the song), it really messes with the sound! It's as if the music/sounds were being played through a metal tube with coins jumping around inside of it.. I don't know, it's hard to explain a sound..
EDIT*: Further inspection (tuning up the volume) shows that not only does the sound get banged up when resizing Winamp or watching HD videos but I get bad sound quality overall (noise in the background)
I've tried formatting again, I've installed the drivers from the disc which came with my Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Audio sound card (which I'm using) and I ran the updater but I can't seem to get this problem solved.
BUT! If I close Winamp or try messing with the size again it sometimes gets fixed or just sounds a little different messed up. Same goes for my browser when playing off of youtube. Sometimes waiting a bit also fixes the sound for a while but it just gets messed right back.
If this sounds familiar or you have any ideas of the source of this all-too-annoying problem, please give me a post. I can also post more information about my system should you wonder.
Thanks in advance,
Andri
