eh...i posted this over on a COMPUTER forum and got nothin lol so maybe i'll get some help here
for some reason, out of nowhere (not sure when) all the sounds (besides music/video) that come out of my PC, like if something updated, or if i'm printing something (says printing complete, or my virus protection has been updated for example), it sounds like...a staticy robot for lack of better terms. instead of each program having its own sounds and whatnot like they're supposed to, they all sound bad. it's usually pretty loud and annoying. i tried setting the windows sounds back to default to see if that would help, and it still acts up. i just installed a new printer the other day and it even does it when it starts printing. any ideas why? or how i can fix it?
