Hi,

I was playing Oxygène 2 on my laptop (D50 as master kybd) and suddently, the sound became crap and now, when I move the volum control (on the windows' mixer), there is a "scrutch" sound crappy...
What do you think it is ??
I hope my laptop is not brocken !!!! (It is still under warranty ;))

Regards :o

News :

It's happening when I play a sound (MP3, film and so on) but only on the right channel !!
It's happening to the internal right speaker and via the "OUT" connector to the right channel

I think it's a problem with my internal soundcard.....
What do you think ?

I think it is, indeed. Try to re-install the driver. But I'm afraid that won't help...

Do you have something like a "3D-Simulation" program for your Soundcard? Usually such programs are delivered for CMI-Soundchips/room simulation etc. Go into your System control and check for a item (maybe) called "CMI 3D config" and check if there´s any sort of simulation enabled.

No, I disabled all things like that and the sound is still crappy :(
Thank you PHASEREFFECT, anyway ;)

The only (maybe) possible thing would be the "playback quality" tab under the sounds/multimedia control....but this usually happens to both speakers....or do you have the Ace Mega Codecs Pack installed?!?

I have not these codecs, I use VLC Media Player ;)
A "cratch" sound appears during Windows XP launch (when you see the logo), there is short "chpok" on the right speaker, it's the first time I heard it.
During Windows XP launch, there is no software launched, so, I think, it can't be a soft problem, so, by definition, I think it's a hardware problem....

I'll contact the SAV (I had 2 dead-pixels on the screen too, from around 10 months but they are not very viewables), so I hope they'll exchange my computer !!

Thanks a lot to you all anyway ;)

The "scratch" appears on the right speaker of the internal speaker and on the right speaker via the jack :(
