Ok thanks for the guidance. I have and HP pavilion running Vista home premium 64 bit OS. Monitor is w2558hc Wide LCD. The audio driver is from realtek. When I check the sound, the computer says the driver is up to date and the speakers are working properly. Nvidia downloaded an update the same day that windows downloaded the service pack. It was service pack 1 even though the computer says I am using service pack 2. I don't really know what any of this means, I'm just trying to give as much info as possible. Thanks for trying to help. If you need anymore info, let me know.
