I just installed a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio..(upgraded from an Audigy SE.)
I'm having a bizarre problem. Windows XP has default sounds to go with events; error beeps and the like. you can find all of these sound assignments in control panel -> sound, speech, and audio devices -> sound and audio devices -> and then the sounds tab.
Scroll down to the windows explorer section, and the "start navigation" event. The sound, called "Windows XP start," should be a familiar clicky noise. It's the sound that plays whenever you click a lick in Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer.
After installing this sound card, that sound is glitched for me. It's playing like a really light beep or click noise..it's hard to describe it. Anyway, I figured maybe that sound file got messed up, so I emailed it to myself from a different computer. The sound file is fine..It playes as a click in any media player, but when used by windows..it's bugged.
To make it even weirder, the glitch does NOT occur when I have certain applications running. (right now i've only noticed it with Lord of the Rings Online, but i doubt that's the only one.) I cannot figure out what causes it to be bugged, or what causes it to be fixed when these programs run. I have the newest drivers for this card, and my integrated sound is disabled from the BIOS. help me out...
