Ive had this problem since the games release but just sort of dealt with it hoping for a solution... unfortunatly noone even seemed to be experienceing the same problem as me. So after much delay i bring forth my delema.
It seems that when i play HL2 i get a weird crackleing/echoy problem coming from my front two spaekers. If i change the setting off of 5.1 and to 2 the error is reduced to a tolerable level (infact i played through the game the first time like this) but defenately takes away from the game.
It is a store bought copy which i am running on a Dell bought/personaly upgraded PC:
I have all the latest drivers for my hardware and updates for HL2 and cant come up with a solution. My first guess would be the audio card but dont want to spend the money to replace it(especialy if im not sure it will work). Thanks in advance for any and all help you can muster up.
