Aliasalpha: So you reinstalled windows and the sound driver and all this time you'd accidently hit the power button on your subwoofer?
Well, my brother had screwed with my desk area a bit when he locked me out of my room, including taping over the laser sensor on my mouse, so I guess he had also messed with my subwoofer. Guess I really didn't notice until I had finished watching TRON in my media room, hearing the audio on my PC going "That does not sound right at all", and flipping out. If I think there's any problem at all, I am fully willing to wipe my disk completely clean and start anew. Recently, I've been doing it every two months.
