    for some reason i can only get sound from my headphones pluged into one of the jacks and not my speakers.

    it happened when i started jacking with some of the settings for ventrilo. to be honest i'm not quite sure what i did.

    i tried to restore default settings, but i can't find that option anywhere.
    i also tried to uninstall and reinstall the latest audio drivers from the dell website. they installed alright, but when i try to restart my computer (because it ask me too) it just freezes. so i have to hold the power button. then when i startup the system tray program that installed with the audio drivers crashes.

    i'm running windows 7 with the latest updates.

    any and all help is greatly appreciated!
