First of all, yes, I'm using onboard audio. But it's pretty good actually, it has no background noise at all (even with in-ear headphones), and has a decent RMAA measure.
So, I just turned on the computer today, and the sound had a weird lower pitch, kinda like if the instruments were out of tune. It's not noise, it's the sound itself...
Coincidentally (or not?) it was the next boot after I installed Skype in the computer, so I thought it might have somehow caused it.
Uninstalled Skype, uninstalled audio drivers, reinstalled audio drivers. Problem was still there.
So as I had given up all hope, it cured itself and is completely normal now. What?!
Could it be a DAC/opamp problem?
Thanks.
EDIT: Oh, and it's not a problem with my speakers, headphones also had the problem (and through the front port also).
EDIT 2: Two days ago we had a sudden and fast electric drop for a moment (not enough to turn the computer off), could it somehow be related? Is audio equipment so susceptible to damage by electrical variations?
