    So today i decided to do a clean install of windows 7 everything went fine,

    Except one thing the audio when playing though my speakers sound find but when i plug in my headset and, lets say i listen to you you tube video the music is just fine but there voice sounds like they are very far away and hard to hear!

    this is very weird and i have installed and re installed IDT audio drivers over and over any ideas?

    Is there some sort of heaphones preset that you can enable upon plugging in headphones? Failing that you could turn the volume up. (I'm serious)
