Ok, so I spent lotsa money on a new gaming machine, but I have problems that I can't quite figure out.
First off, I have a crappy onboard SoundMax soundcard and well, I have 2 gforce 8800GTS cards in my machine, and absolutely NO room for a single card. So I go purchase a Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit external sound device. I hook it up, install the drivers, and what do I get? Problems. The sound is all scratchy, movies played go fast and slow, sound popping.
So I contact Sound Blaster support, they tell me to RMA it. My cousin comes over this last weekend and we do some tests. We determined it was defective, but we do one last test. Installed it on my brothers lower end machine. it works perfectly fine. I'm now in a state of hectic turmoil trying to figure out what to do. Send it back for RMA or try to troubleshoot this on Anantech?
Thats my first problem, my second kind of goes with the first. I basically have no treble or bass control. Even when I installed that soundblaster I couldn't control the base, but the good thing was with the soundblaster sound controls I was able to reduce the bass, but I couldn't mess with treble. I dont know what to do, my cousin is way too busy to help me anymore and I can't keep going to him for help anyway.
I don't know where else to go and as I said I'm going out of my mind trying to figure all this crap out.
