Strange Sounds

Hi,

The sound card on my computer has been playing up since i upgraded
from Windows 2000 to XP.

The device manager lists it as a "MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device" and
there is also "Legacy Audio Drivers"

The sound is different for different formats. MP3 and MPEG sounds like
they are underwater. CD and Input Line both sound as if the background
noise is amplified and the speech is virtually muted. MPG is almost
perfect but things usually amplified, eg: guitar solos, are quitened
down.

The problem is not with the speakers as i have tested them on my
discman, worked perfectly.

I have checked that the MPU-401 drivers are XP digitally signed, and
they appear to be.

Any sugestions on this would be a great help.

Thank you

Nicco.

Can you get the actual driver from manufacturer? Cos they usually work
better.
