LAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa......

Whenever I start my computer (Running Windows XP), the speaker volume is set down to a reasonable level. For some strange reason when the startup sound plays, the sound blasts at the highest possible volume and pitch for about a second, then settles down to the normal volume. If I were to replicate this sound in text, it would go something like this: (H = High, L = Low) ___--------------______________ LLLHHHHHHHHHHHHHHLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Since my spekers are amplified, I assumed that something is internally wrong, but when I tried fixed-volume non-amplified headphones, the same thing would happen. My soundcard is a SoundBlaster AudioPCI 128D. But wait....there''s more! My motherboard has an integrated sound device, and when I try it on that - I get the same result. _____________________________________________________ ICQ #: 149510932 Google - OpenGL - DirectX - Windows Guide Network - MSDN - Symantec Virus Info "Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein
