Well, I have been without sound for about 3 months now. I got the day off, so I decided, why not take a look at what be causing the problem. I have a X-Fi pci e x1 sound card. I loved it before my sound issue. I had drowning on certain audio that would go in and out. I played with the 3d sound options on the XFi control panel. Turned off Xpand and just to Stereo surround, everything is now crystal clear... At first I thought this was a heating damage issue, but turns out it was just some wierd configs bugging out. If anyone has the same problem or had it, feel free to ask any questions, because I know how frustrating this was.
