SB Live & WinXP Problem...

tsdc · Oct 26, 2003, 07:41 AM

Unless I install Microsoft's creative labs update, i have to turn the volume all the way up in windows to get it at a decent level... i hate it... if I install the update, i hardly have to have the volume turned up at all... but the update really messes up my games...

When I say 'volume', i'm speaking of Windows built in volume... not the control on the speakers, I leave them at halfway all the time... but I've tried quite a few different drivers, all the same effect...
