Hey everyone,
I'm having a really confusing issue where playing certain games will completely mute my computer. For example, when playing Starcraft 2, I will open the program, the menu music will play for a bit, then nothing. I've tried it with two sets of speakers and three sets of headphones, so I'm pretty sure its a soundcard/driver issue.
Whats really confusing, is that only some games/programs will mute my computer. Starcraft 2, Team Fortress 2, Singularity, Borderlands, and Ventrilo will all mute my computer, while Battlefield Bad Company 2, Fallout New Vegas, The Witcher 2, Homefront, and Dragon age 2 do not. Is there some relation between the games that work and the games that dont?
I am using Realtek on board sound, and my motherboard model is Intel DP55WB, and I believe I have the latest drivers for said motherboard. I am currently running Windows XP Service pack 3. If there's any other information that you would like to know, please ask.
Playing games without sound is not very fun at all, and being unable to use Vent makes any team based play impossible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
