As of this morning when I was using the computer anything audio related sounded like garbage. The audio was echoey and sounded like i was running a stream on Dialup. I tried to diag the problem. I have an Onboard audio on my Intel 945PSN board as well as a Creative Audigy 4 Card. The Audigy was the initial output for my sound. I thought the card might have gone so i switched over to the onboard sound. The poor sound quality continued. The next thing i figured was maybe my headset that i was using had crapped out on me. So i switched the sound out through my Reciever. That also did no solve the problem. Some things i did realize though is when i rebooted my PC with the reciever on whenever a sound file played either the windows logon sound or AOL instant messanger IM the reciever reset itself similar to the effects of a surge. This happened using either sound output on my PC. I for the life of me cannot figure out why i am getting such lousy sound. I also ran Spyware, and anti virus scans, disabled any services and startup processes i didnt need. Help me.
