Hi guys. I've just sat all night trying to fix this problem and still haven't got anywhere.

Basically whenever I start up a game I'm getting audio distortion and very very sluggish performance. Games are totally unplayable. I can't understand why.

I had this same problem when I first installed my 560ti a couple of weeks ago. But managed to resolve it after some head scratching, by disabling the Nvidia HD Audio drivers when updating the cards drivers. I assumed it was conflicting with my X-fi sound card.

However I just updated to the latest driver from Nvidia (285.62) and the problem has returned :( I've tried so many combinations of things to get it back to normal and have failed miserably. Tried installing with/without the Nvidia Audio drivers, un-installing and re-installing Nvidia and creative drivers numerous times, as well as cleaning drivers with Driver Sweep in safe mode. Tried un-installing the HD Audio device in device manager, and disabling it too in various combinations. Nothing makes any difference. Also tried updating my directx.

:confused: Help! Any suggestions on what I should do next? Thanks
