Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Just had a weird fault that seems to have cleared itself..

A few months ago, my Windows HDD died, so I borrowed a 200 gig drive from Work, and set windows up on it. Didn't think anything more of it, until last week.

Last week, Windows started playing up a little, and my Windows drive was down to it's last few gig. So I took the opportunity to buy a new 2TB HDD, backed up all my important stuff and set Windows up again.

Been spending the last day or so setting up all the software I needed, and finally got around to setting up PowerDVD.

Then, I noticed a weird problem. I have my sound card hooked up to a Home Cinema system via SPDIF, and DVDs sounded a little odd. Running the Windows test showed that the card was ignoring the front left/right speakers. All the others worked fine, but the front two didn't.

Anyhow, after installing a few other sundry bits of software, I needed to reboot the machine. When the machine came back up the sound card was fine and I can now play back DVD/Blu rays in 5.1 sound...
