Tom, I sure wish that were a possibility, but I'm using an old Kenwood
receiver here, not anything like a high tech device. I mean, a real
dinasore.|

Well Tim, thanks for that bit of advice, but I've tried that, and that
takes practically all of my amplification away. I only have the minimum
of enhancement going. I don't even have any equalization, at least not
through the sound card, only through Winamp.
As far as Winamp, my player, and the part it might have to play in the
equation, I don't even have surround sound on at all, because I am
using an old school analog stereo receiver. So, I am open to even more
suggestions.
Thanks much,
Larry

Try going in to control panel and go to sound link and click on your
sound card. Then go to playback and then to the properties and then
the enhancements tabs and check disable all enhancements. I hope that
solves the problem.

Subject: Question about a sound card issue - maybe
Listers,
Something has been kind of bugging me since I began using this Dell XPS
7500 machine back in march of last year.
It seems to me that the on board Realtech sound card has a
characteristic of making voices sound as if they are cave like,
depending how they are positioned. I think that if they are completely
centered in a stereo version, they sound more reverberous, or as if they
are a bit more in the background than they should be, at least more so
than they sounded with my old Creative Audigy card.
If anybody has also noticed this with either this or any other card, and
have a ready solution to what I at least consider a problem, I would
really like to hear about it.
Guess I can live with it, I have for almost a year, but if it could be
corrected, at least without having to buy another card, in the hopes
that it wouldn't have the same issue, it would be nice.
BTW, my speakers are correctly phased.
Any input or advice on this would be very much appreciated,
Larry
