Puzzling sound problems
Then it definitely sounds, no pun intended, like it's the speakers themselves. Looks like it's time to replace them.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.
Not just in CoX and its looking like hardware, but still hoping someone has heard of the problem.
My Altec Lansing 121i speakers have decided volume control (on the subwoofer) really means balance. Turning the knob left shifts balance to left, right to right. Funny part is when it's in the middle there's no sound at all. At first I thought the Realtek driver had gone screwy, but plugging in a set of headphones shows that the driver is working fine... balance control in the control panel, dx diag tests, and volume tests in the audio mixer program are normal.
I've tried rebooting, cold booting, simply turning the subwoofer off, unplugging and replugging... nothing so far. What else *can* you try with speakers?
Not that it matters much, but the speakers in question. Could just be the wiring going, I suppose? The speakers pre-date my current computer (just over a year old for the computer, probably three or four years old for the speakers).
