I am currently experiencing the same problem. All the sounds are crisp
and clear, its just the main voices that are badly distorted and verry
soft. it sounds almost as if the underwater enhancement has been
activated.

I have checked on both my playback device and my microphone that no
enhancements have been activated. I preveously installed the K-Lite Mega
Codec pack 510, and i am currenly running Windows 7. I have tried
uninstalling the klite package and installing win7codecs with no
success. I doubt its an hardware issue, my motherboard is barely 1 week
old. I have installed the driver package that came with my new PC, and
also tried downloading new ones.

The problem occurs with games, movies, music, etc. So it cannot be tied
down to one device. However, my headphones are set to stereo, but sound
seems to be like an mono channel. I wonder if you could elaborate more
on the Hardware / Software mixer issue.

I have formatted PC so many times in the last month, always some little
issue, and i would prefer knowing how to fix them, than just plainly
evading.
