Been having a problem with my Audio for quite a while now and it's taking it's toll on me and am getting fed up with it. It's something to do with my AUDIO, although volume is up high I can barely hear it. When it first went wrong (no sound at all) I was getting error messages saying there was a problem with the USB ports then things got worse until I ended up trying to do a total reinstallation of windows. Which ended in error, so off to the repair shop it went. Got a new motherboard put in. So when I got it home the sound was very low checked all the settings everything looked fine checked devices ran audio checks DIRECT X check everything is fine. Is there a audio setting in BOIS which maybe wrong and how do I check. RAN the hardware scan here is my results-

Am guessing he never checked the speakers everything else was working afterwards, no didn't get any cd with it. Prob best just to take it back in...Yeah?

I'd take it back it should all be working.

if you had a new motherboard you should get all the driver discs that came with it.
