Yeah the suggestion that you were given kinda fixes it. Girrrr than the XPS does that crap too then? I've noted it with my Enspireon 3000. It's some stupid wall reflection effect either Dell sets and who knows how to truly shut it off, and or Real Tech does this crap. Yeah I know that annoying effect. Kinda cool the first few seconds and for some sound effects, but very annoying. It's a reflection effect. Like when you are backing your car out of some ware and the moter reflects off something creating the elusion that oh now there's 2 cars. Oh no waitit's just yours.So yeah very annoying. I feel you.

It seems to me that the on board Realtech sound card has a characteristic of making voices sound as if they are cave like, depending how they are positioned. I think that if they are completely centered in a stereo version, they sound more reverberous, or as if they are a bit more in the background than they should be, at least more so than they sounded with my old Creative Audigy card. If anybody has also noticed this with either this or any other card, and have a ready solution to what I at least consider a problem, I would really like to hear about it. Guess I can live with it, I have for almost a year, but if it could be corrected, at least without having to buy another card, in the hopes that it wouldn't have the same issue, it would be nice. BTW, my speakers are correctly phased. Any input or advice on this would be very much appreciated, Larry
