    Hey there guys,

    So I've had my m11x r1 since the beginning of September and I must say it has ran without a hitch since then until the past couple days.

    Lately (and very noticeably in games like Assassins Creed II) I have this strange sound issue. My computer will not play the speech sounds in many games, or in some cases will not play the background and only the speech. It also so happens that when I plug my headphones into one jack, it will only play sound and not speech, and the other jack plays background noise but no speech.

    I am currently updating my sound driver, but this could either a) be something not driver related or b) be something very simple to fix, but I just haven't picked around with sound settings before.

    If anyone has any suggestions for a fix for this issue that would be great!

    Thanks!

    P.S. I also experience the problems in WoW, Batman: Arkham asylum, and I haven't tested any other games, but if need be I can.

    Ugh, nevermind guys... like I said, just haven't had the experience messing around with sound settings.

    Thanks anyways!
