My sound has been all messed up as of lately in aa. Its as if the front channel doesnt work. I have had to change my setup from 5.1 to 4.1 for some reason. I have a buddy who has also complained of unexplained audio changes.

It also sounds as if EAX effects are being forced. They are disabled on my audio setup and drivers and software, but yet it still sounds as if there are effects being use when in different environments in AA like in a vent, open room and so on.

If it has indeed changed I have to say WTF?! How can I change it back....if nothing has changed something is royally fked with my sound card or something and it just so happens to have happened at the time of the AA assist crashing and having issues

I have the Xfi Xtreme Gamer, fairly good card.

I also have tweaked settings and am familiar with basically all options and settings within the drivers. And have been using the settings and setup for years. Needa do more testing I guess something could have failed hardware wise for me, headset issue or sound card. Luckily im planning on a fresh install of windows soon cause I just got a SSD to install that I have been putting off for months and now have a reason to get going with it.

Thanks! Those sound about the same settings as my audio. I have screenshots that a clan and i made for optimal settings, even the EQ is tweaked, 2 diff load outs.

I know they did strip windows of some sound functionality starting in Vista, and continuing in 7and I did have issues when I first moved to win 7 from XP.

Everything was running smooth for a while tho. Im going to comb through all the settings again and reinstall if need be. I have also been considering upgrading my sound card since this one is fairly good quality but dated - and I was actually looking at that exact same sound card since its currently on sale at NCIX in Canada.

Mine is about the same, however driver default was checked for some reason so i think perhaps that somehow got turned on.

You should try changing your channels to 64, or 128. And changing your volume to 2, and only adjust your volume with master windows / creatives
