I was here a few weeks ago with a smooth scrolling problem as well as a sound problem.

It was suggested by you all that I had to download drivers as I reinstalled Windows recently.

After I installed the drivers I needed, like you suggested, my sound was working fine up until a few days ago. For some reason, it's sounding like it's underwater again. This happens when I watch videos or listen to music players. It will do this for approximately the first 2 minutes of the song, then it seems to work fine.

Any suggestions?

first thing to try is uninstall the sound drivers and then reinstall them...

go here and get the Realtek AC'97 Audio Driver...

I installed it and restarted my computer, but the sound is still messed up. It sounds like the lead voice is a mile away. Sometimes the music doesn't play as loudly either. Background vocals sound ok. It's very weird. It's not the same sound problem I was having before. This happens with any and all music or sound. For instance, my music files, mp3's, youtube, music players, etc.

yep...try a different headset and also try plugging in some powered speakers...

I plugged my speakers back in, instead of the headset, and the sound works fine. I never thought it would be the headset since I've had so many problems with my sound since restoring my computer. Thank you for your help. I'm most grateful.
