I have given up on my Creative Sound Blaster (platinum) sound working. My brother initially installed it and had it working, then it stopped and he or I cant get it going again. I havent even been able to try out the recording part where I can use a "real" microphone and all. I had logitech speakers also (two) with a woofer. And the woofer cord always crackled Loud and scared me. Anyhow, he got the old sound card working that came with the computer so I am back to that. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: <dktrfaustus@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2005 8:37 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Speaker volume fluctuating > > Hey, folks, > > Hope someone can help me diagnose this little problem I've had for a > while. > > I have a 4-speaker and subwoofer audio setup on my system (Creative > FourPointSurround FPS1600).
