Hello everyone.

I cannot seem to tackle this problem on my own. Sorry if it is a long read.

After reinstalling Windows XP pro. the audio playback has gone all funny on me. It cycles from one speaker to the other, changes volume and deforms. I think you understand what I mean. Flash and other online videos do not have audio at all. I notice the system sounds, when fiddling with my audio devices, sound off as well. Like something's missing.

My audio is the SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio built into my Asus M2N32-SLI motherboard (I know, you plan to buy a soundcard, but you never do these things) I installed all the proper drivers for all my stuffs and updated the ones that were hideously out of date.

Google searches and forum searches yielded nothing. For argument's sake I hooked up some different speakers, took all 'interfering' equipment away from them, checked cables, etc. no change.

NB: I distinctly remember having the same problem when I built this PC around two years ago, but cannot for the life of me remember how I solved it.

In the sound settings have you turned off any audio enhancements? Like 3D sound, reverb, echo etc. if you have them?

Alright.

I just had a quick shower, came back, rebooted the PC and lo and behold, now it works. I installed some Asian language support of all things!

Well, horse, mouth etc. (Although I am keen to know why it chose this moment to work)

So sorry to have taken up your time and thank you for your quick response. :)
