I have to try this with another audio source. It's either going to be a bum audio card or something in the speaker set. This diagnosis determines what gets replaced.

That said I did run into a few PC owners that were convinced it was drivers. We couldn't save them from themselves.

Have a another creative zx sound card & I FOUND a used set of klipsch speakers
Pro media 5.1 e-bay. Maybe some day I will troubleshoot this problem
When I get away from work
I was told by some nerds I know I called them they said take the sound card out
and to go into the bios & and enable realltek 5.1 THX and test my speakers
