New MOBO, now Sound issues...

[LA_MERC_Wetzny]

The MOBO I had placed in my system is a Asus A8V-E SE.. Before you start Railing on me for it remember I was OUT of town when my previous board bit the dust and I dropped my system off at a local NON-GEEK squad shop of diagnostics and ultimately repairs...

The issue is now instead of my sweet arse sound card running my sound, I think the on board sound has control, as such my MIC level is weak, sound is good the problem is most CANT hear me... Now when I go to the icon near my clock I get some complicated mess of ASUS equalizer crap I can't figure out...

I want to boost my Mic for TS and can't figure it OUT!!! HELP... a RETARD...

Thanks and see you in the game....

Do you have an external sound card or onboard sound? If you have both, you can just disable the onboard sound in the bios. If you go into your sound and audio devices properties, you can then select which device you want to play sound or record with. Make sure the proper device is selected

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi card....

Yeah, disable the onboard stuff and then go to control panel sounds and check which device its using. After disabling it, it should be your card and then should work...in theory. heh

If that doesn't fix the issue, there is the boost mic under advanced settings in XP. I will grab a SS.
