I have a machine with a RealTek HDA Azalia ( is that how you spell it ? ) and the sound is terrible ...on some applications
If I put a CD in and play it using CD Player it's all distorted - if I rip the CD and play the ogg
files with Helix it's fine. Xine is also distorted
The 'pling' sound that plays to test the sound card either during install or later using the
sound card detection sounds perfect
It sounds as if I have turned the input right down and then turned the output right up so it
sounds 'crackly and clipped ' if that makes sense
Also Helix plays loud but CD Player is really quiet so I have to turn the speaker volume up
any thoughts
thanks
