Sound Problem

ok when i play Counterstrike 1.6, sometimes the sound in my Headset which is Plantronics brand, goes out, like i stop hearing everything completely, so i gotta exit Counterstrike and start it again to get my sound workin, is there a way to fix frmo the sound going out? brand: Plantronics, everything is plugged, audio jacks, my volume is high, mute button is off

 

Does the sound stop in the middle of the game or randomly at the start of the game?

 

randomly. it sometimes happen when im not playin CS

 

Strange. What soundcard/-chip do you have in your computer and what operating system?

Try updating sound drivers.

 

my soundcard is onboard (meaning its on my motherboard) and using windows XP, i remember tryin to update my sound driver and it SLOWED my computer SOOOOOOOO bad, like if i had a alot of viruses and spyware

 

Private, GJ knows what on-board means. We've been on other computer related forums before.

I think you need to get updates for your sound card. but DO NOT just have windows look for it on the net.

Try the following instead:

1. Go to your board manufacturer's site. they should have driver updates that work fine.

2. look up the make of your sound card, and find their site, and look for downloads matching the serial of your card. (serial is normally below where you find the make of your card. for onboards, it should be near the ports, if you didn't know..)

3. If the top 2 don't work, go to www.driversguide.com They may have your drivers. you can sign up with them for free.

 

well i didnt know. i tried updating my sound drivers couple of months ago and it slowed my PC so bad so i dunno if i should risk doing it again

 

Is it one of those Realtek's AC'97 on-board audio devices?
If it is, I could send you very well working drivers for it.

 

the Realtek's AC'97 have alot of known issues that it doesnt work 'right'

 

is it your headset or your ear...maybe your ear just randomly go crazee not your headset ....just joking i dont know a thing about this stuff

 

thanks for the help <_<
