Lately my sound card gives scratchy and distorted sound in any application/game. I have the latest drivers. I also uninstalled and re-installed it also. I also followed the Microsoft Trouble Shooter guide. Yet no solution. What can be the problem.
I would also like to point out that this problem had occured before when I had a Hard Disk with Bad Sectors. When I installed a new HD, my applications worked faster as well as the sound improved. Now the problem occured again after some one accessed my computer. I don't know what the f*** he did to it!
