Speakers are dying

Hello,

I hooked up some stereo speakers that I purchased from some flea market to my computer and I have been having optimal performance from them for the past year or so. However, recently they have been a bit fuzzy while playing music. I have tried many different music players and I have changed the equilizer settings as well.

I did play my music a bit loud when no one was home, but no too loud. I don't believe that affected the speakers, but you never know...

About a month ago, I installed DirectX 8.1 on my Windows 98SE system. Could this have anything to do with it? Could it be my sound drivers?

Get a cheap set of ear phones and try them to see if you are getting good audio out. Then worry about the speakers.

Ok, I hooked my CD player headphones up to my sound card and the sound was terribly distorted. I guess I can now suppose taht it is my computer's fault.

Could it be DirectX 8.1? Maybe I should try looking for an update to my sound card's drivers...
