Weird echo

[Bluesummers]

I'm not sure if it's something that's always been there and I never noticed it before or not (Been a couple of week since I used my speakers). But whenever I'm listening to music or anything there's an echo. Not a huge echo but it's noticable and it makes me want to bash my head against the desk.

I'm using a C-Media AC97 audio card.

Thanks in advance.

Sound issues generic fix pack:

1 - update your drivers and DX version.
2 - lower your acceleration under the DXDiag.
3 - try a different set of speakers.

In your Xear3D Options should be a tab with an equalizer on the right.
On the left side are some effects. If any of them is enabled, disable it.

There might be a setting thats supposed to emulate 5.1 surround sound (which sounds horrible) disable that. Thats if M[u]ddy's solution doesnt work

Virtual 5.1? That emulates 5.1 fine for Dolby encoded games. If you have a 5.1 soundcard and you play movies you might have to disable Virtual 5.1, otherwise the sound conflicts and you get screwy sound.

Indeed, Music playback sounds horrible with virtual 5.1. I perfer real 5.1, which is what I have.

Woot. Works now... found some sights that led to a link for a fix for the echo with drivers... I downloaded them then my soundcard didn't work at all haha. But I rolled it back and now it work with no echo.
