When I play DVDs using my M-Audio Revolution 7.1, the sound seems distorted. It seems to stutter slightly and is crackly. That's the best I can describe it. The sound is perfect when I use my Sound Blaster Live.
After doing some testing, I found that CD audio from my DVD rom drive results in the same distoration as the aforementioned DVD experience. However, when I play CD audio through PowerDVD it is crystal clear. Windows Media Player, Winamp 2.90 with MAD and ASIO, and WinDVD result in the same distortion. PowerDVD still plays DVD distorted, just not CD audio.
My CD drive plays CD audio perfectly on all accounts.
I'm a hardware beginner, so if there is anything I could have possibly messed up that would result in this, please let me know. The foreign component is the DVD drive, which I introduced after my m-audio revolution 7.1 worked. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
