EricB said:then why the hell are you posting, idiot? I was giving you the benfit of the doubt. I thought that you didn't realize the you were act like an asshole. I was still trying to help you.your true colors are showing
I am going to let your dumb butt stay in the dark.
I can't tell
yeah, I'm human
Let check back on all of the details that you provided.
1.my sound settings remains the same
2.duh...
What you are so busy being a butt hole, check some of my posts to see what I specialize in.
Wow, I've really rattled your cage haven't I? Seems like it doesn't take much. I'm posting because I want some thoughts/opinions/ideas without put-downs and somebody with a superiority complex telling me how I should and shouldn't post. Put simply, I was perhaps hoping for some replies from people OTHER than you. Imagine that. You're calling me dumb and an idiot? Have you checked out your grammar and punctuation in that first paragraph? No details whatsoever? Here's a quick summary - reading and soaking up information doesn't seem to be your thing:-
*My soundcard is an M-Audio Audophile 192
*I have recently installed a bunch of programs, including a Nero trial
*ALL other sounds are working fine, i.e games, music etc.
*The sound scheme(control panel/sounds and audio devices/sounds/sound scheme) I have is Windows Default
*There are speakers next to all the sounds that previously worked(program events)
*The small arrow next to 'browse' can't be clicked on
*When selecting 'browse' it brings up the list of different sound files as normal, all of which can be played in WMP
*Onboard sound is already disabled in the BIOS
*no device conflicts or problems in Device Manager
I think most of your problem is you presume I'm a dummy when it comes to soundcards. In the control panel for this Audiophile 192 there are only like 5 possible options that can be changed, so I can assure you - posting pics wouldn't make the slightest difference. Oh BTW you said my true colours are showing. If my true colours are being polite, giving the correct info to diagnose and fix my problem, and standing up for myself when a full of himself moron starts telling me how I should and shouldn't post and constantly repeating themself about the same old tired stuff then I'm fine with that.
You are the so called 'specialist'. Surely someone skilled in their field doesn't need to constantly defend and validate themselves? You could have stayed out of this thread from the beginning, but you decided you would try and make yourself look good by making me look bad. If you are so right about the way I have conducted myself in this thread, where are the other people backing you up? Exactly. The fact is, you just DON'T know how to fix my problem, not because of a lack of information on my part, but because you simply don't know. Admit it, you'll feel better. Otherwise I WILL post those pics and you'll embarrass yourself further when you STILL don't know. Now run along nicely and work on your comeback.
