[QUOTE="mickelin, post: 176992, member: 25242"] Had a perfectly working setup, but the onboard AC97 sound was a bit noisy. No free slots, so I installed an external Creative Audigy 2 NX USB sound card. Updated to latest Creative drivers. I use the analog outputs connected to a 5.1 amplifier. I use the DScaler audio codec and when set to Default DirectSound device (same setting I used with the AC97), I get a horrible whining noise. If I set it to DefaultWave renderer, the sound is clean, but there is no center channel, only left/right and back channels. I have made sure the DScaler filter is set to 3+2 speakers and downmix is disabled. Tried the MPA codec, same results. No problems in other Windows apps, just in MP. Any ideas?
