Computer Sound Problem

While I was watching one of the matches last night, my sound suddenly got really quiet. I thought it was some NS bug; so I just restarted NS. Still not working. I then launched Winamp, and noticed very poor sound quality(drums sound incredibly bad) The windows sound control thing, it won't play the beep(you know when you click the sound slider) that tells you how loud it is. I'm using an Audigy LS(yes I'm aware it's not very good). I tried switching over to my motherboard sound, but that just sounded worse.

Any ideas?

Note:Actully last night I started playing NS(just bhopping in the readyroom) and the sound was actully working fine for that. Then I opened winamp, sound started sucking again, and I havn't been able to get it to work correctly since.

    Just tried that, didn't work.
    I had to use the Creative autoupdater to get them(they aparently don't list the drivers on their page). I'd like to do a manual install of them, but I seem to have lost my CD and they aren't listed on the page.

    The winamp does seem a little better.
    And it just started working mostly in NS. Wonder how long it will last.

    Somewhat just died again. I'm thinking it might be a hardware problem?

    Are you sure the speakers themselves are not blown.

    That is what usually causes really weird things like that to happen. Assuming the soundcard is fine.

    Not speakers, headphones. I don't think so, I tried using the motherboard sound and it was differant. I'l try the speakers now...

    It seems he's right. My Plantronics model 90's have died in battle(well they still sort of work). I think I got a warrenty on them though...

    check if the card sticks firmly in the pci slot.
