SOUND CARD MESSED UP HELP!!

[chad174]

why does my sound card echo??it enever did before, but i was thinking it may be the overclocking and occasionally running at 75 or 83 mhz bus...its a sound blaster 16 ISA, tried new speakers, didn't work...tried new sound card, that worked in same slot and others, but i still want this sound blaster to work.

Some sound cards allow you to add 'Reverb' to the sound. 10% sounds good, any higher starts to make it sound like your playing your music in a canyon. For SB Live! cards, its in the AudioHQ under Environmental Audio.

no thats not it...this is an sb 16, not sb live..and i dont haveany options like that under properties...what program on the sb 16 cd would chage that type of stuff?

sad to say, i overclocked my system to 75, 83 and 100mhz and screwed up my ISA soundcard until it got no .wav playback capability only midi...

i got a PCI SB Vibra128 instead now.
its cheap and better than SB VIBRA16.
well i still think SB live is BEST but 2x the price of SB Vibra.

chad174,

Look under your speaker icon settings on the taskbar. Look for a setting for surround sound. If this setting is set to high and your not hooking your computers speaker output to a Surround Home Theater System, you may get an echo effect through your regular speakers.

Good Luck and let us know if it fixes it.
