Hi,
I recently installed a new video card a Geforce GT430 and since then i have had problems with my sound. There is a slight popping/ crackling when i play video which becomes worse when i play video in full screen. I can LIVE with that though the thing that is really bad is Ventrillo. Everything is garbled and kind of repeats. I'd really like to get ventrillo working, I can live with the other audio issues.
What i've tried: I noticed that the soundcard has it's own sound drivers so I tried removing the video cards drivers, the didn't help, but I don't know if I went about removing them the correct way, I reinstall the video driver. I tried updating the Audigy driver and that actually made everything worse, so I rolled back the audio driver. I tried playing around with the setting in Ventrillo and that didn't help at all. I'm not sure what to do next.

Video Card: Geforce nividia GT 430 (made by Galaxy)
Sound card: Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS
OS: Windows XPInstall latest nVidia driver dated 4/18/2011

If your video card has HDMI, that also contains audio, you may have to setup the digital audio through the nVidia Control Panel. This will launch the Windows Audio & you will see settings for both Creative & nVidia. Make sure default device is Creative. If I remember correctly, nVidia changed the default to the nVidia HDMI. I have the same nVidia Geforce GT430 (made by EVGA).OK, i installed the driver linked above but i can't find on the nividia control pannel an option to control audio. It has:

3d settings
- Adjust image settings with preview
- Manage 3d settings
- Set PhysX configuration
Display
-run Display optimization wizard
- Adjust desktop color settings
- Adjust SIZE and position
- Rotate display
- Run multiple display wizard
- Set up multiple displays
Video
- Adjust video color settings
- Adjust video image settings

I'm I doing something wrong? Looking in the wrong place?Your card must not have HDMI.Any other suggestions? I would start by trying different codecs in Vent. You can do this by clicking on the Test with button in the Setup screen accessible from the main menu. Try a few different ones and click test and say something, your play back will tell you what it sounds like. A second POSSIBILITY is that the Line option in Vent is also set correctly. Depending on your COMPUTER you can plug your mic into different jacks. Make sure you have the best one selected (e.g Jack or Dock etc).

Also try the Vent forums or go to your favorite games forums, usually there are a lot of pp who can help you there too.Quote from: Computer_Commando on May 23, 2011, 04:46:10 PM
