Upgraded to Win 8.1 , apart form the ridiculously long amount of time it took...it went well , installed ok , tested it...turned PC off and went to bed...
Went to play a video file , part way through , the sound started to go 'fuzzy' , then high treble , then almost muffled......
SO , I go and re-install my codecs , re-install the drivers for the sound card , re-seat the card , problem still occurs.
I toggle on the mobo's on-board sound chip , and it works fine if I move the sound connectors to those outputs..I start to tear my hair out...
Just by chance I look at the sound settings for the output........Win 8.1 had reset the outgoing sound to 7.1 surround sound (The max the card can handle) , so it was trying to play some of the sounds to non-existant speakers... (it's a monitor with a 2.1 sound system with 5.1 emulation).
Set it back to 5.1 and all works.....
Sometimes the simplest things.... <sigh>
