I am having a strange issue with my integrated sound. When playing a game (left 4 dead & rainbow 6 Vegas 2) my audio with momentarily switch between the front audio (if I'm using headphones) and the speakers every few moments. If I'm not using headphones the speakers will cut out ever few moments. This only happens when im playing a game. I can watch streaming videos and tv (via my capture card) without any disruption in sound.
I just moved my system back into its case after modding it, in the last case everything was fine. I initially thought that i might have damaged the front audio jacks. But when i disconnected them from the mobo it seamed to fix the problem with the audio cutting out but another problem showed up. When i was playing R6V2 only half the audio was being played. I could hear the sound effects (explosions, gun fire, etc.) but i couldn't hear any of the character voices for either the commands or scripted sequences.
This one has me really scratching my head i cant seam to isolate the issue and i haven't been able to find anyone with a similar problem (via google search) So any help in narrowing down the problem would be greatly appreciated
I'm running an AMD Phenom x4 9950 ocd to 3.0 ghz on a MSI K9A2 Platinum mobo w/ 8 gb of G.Skill DDR2 800 ram, ATI Radeon 4890 1gb, and Vista 64 Ultimate. The audio is intergrated into the K9A2, its a Realtek ALC888/ALC888T 8 channel 7.1 HD audio controller.
