so i popped an HT Omega Striker 7.1 pci sound card in one of my systems, and I can hear the audio...but just barely. The sounds coming out are super quiet, and i could really use some advice as to how to fix the problem. The card worked fine on another
pc, but no matter what settings i adjust i cant get the volume high enough for me to actually enjoy.
Using windows xp, both sound card and headphones work on other pcs. Nothing is muted. Everything is maxed on volume control. Theres a volume control on the headphones, which is also turned all the way up. I tried the usual things like uninstalling/reinstalling the latest drivers to no avail. The card is correctly selected under sounds and audio devices. I disable the onboard sound device in the bios and even uninstalled all the old audio drivers. Trying to avoid a complete system wipe.
I'm stumped!
