[QUOTE="low03tb, post: 13848825, member: 57294"] Hey fellas, I'm trying to determine an issue with my HT/Music setup and one thing in the chain is my PC. I stream from my PC to my WDTV-Live, then to my Denon and on to the speakers. I'm wondering if it's possible that my sound card is bad or in need of an update (probably wouldn't 'fix' something if it was messed up just by an update, but figured I'd throw that in there). I have a built PC, but a friend built it for me. I know to go into the Device Manager, but from there I'm not sure how to check what the sound card is (not by my PC so it might just say) and most importantly, how to check if it's okay or has an issue. My issue is I believe I'm getting a lot of high frequency attenuation. I've tried a new receiver and tried bypassing the WDTV-Live. I have an SPL meter to measure and when using 1/3 octave pink noise I go from 54dB's at 2kHz to 39dB's at 8kHz. That's quite a dip! That's 14dB's down over 2 octaves Anyways, just figured I'd see if we had any PC wizzes here that could help. Thanks :beer: [/QUOTE]
