Norton is ass btw

I don't have a realteck sound card, its asus.

Did you turn your onboard audio off in your bios?

norton is a good AV, and I am going to get norton2009 next month.

Norton is the most horrific piece of garbage I've ever had the displeasure of supporting. I sincerely hope someday people file a class action lawsuit against symantec for that filth. It's worse than actually getting a virus in many cases. Use it long enough and someday it will bite you too, mark my words.

Have you ever had a speaker icon that looks like this:

She has 2 sound cards running, I'd put money on it. Her xonar and her onboard. No real harm in it, but I would have turned off the onboard in the bios personally.

Right click on the speaker icon and select Playback Devices. It will show you how many sound devices you have running.

Wait, redlof, when you said you had an asus sound card, did you mean the audio on your asus motherboard? That's would be a realtek chipset. Wish you hadn't called it a card.

Asus DOES make sound cards (Xonar) and they're fantastic. They don't use the realtek chipset. I assumed, since you said card that's what you had.

I have an Asus card as well, a decent 7.1 that came with my mobo, but I chose to use Creative.

Not the Xonar though I imagine? The Xonar starts at $100 for the cheap one, and it is very superior to the Creative cards.

Ah weird. Must be the realtek chipset on that one. I didn't even know they made that.

I used to swear by Creative. My last card was an X-Fi. Can't remember why I eventually switched to the Xonar but I noticed the difference straight away, and I'm so not an audiophile. I've tried to use onboard a couple of times since then to make some room in my case but I can't. The Xonar just sounds too awesome.
