Problem with sound card on laptop

by blackj3015 . Updated 18 years, 4 months ago

I’ve recently had problems with my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook card. It’s been working fine in the past but now when I listen to music or play games etc. the sound goes on the fritz randomly and everything sounds like it’s underwater or something like that. I’ve removed the card’s drivers software etc and re-installed it but i still get the same thing and I thought I’d post here and see if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I’ve run the diagnostics tool and the only error that comes up is regarding the master volume which I don’t think is the thing that’s giving me trouble.

Note: If it means anything, I’ve had to swap that pcmcia card with an ethernet card quite a bit at some point last month cause my motherboard ethernet wasn’t always working. Maybe all the card swapping might have something to do with this but I have no clue.
