Forum:5.1 Sound problems

Hello guys,

I have a weird problem. I have 5.1 speakers (2front 2 rear 1 center and subwoofer) and integrated sound card HD realtek. In every game it works great. But in Fallout 3 and New Vegas it is really weird.

For example: Speaking with NPCs: sometimes they talk ok... the sound is as it should be. But once in a while, when they switch lines the sound comes from different speakers. And This is really annoying.

and this thing also occurs while shooting and can be noticed with machine guns the most. If I spray a burst, some shots have a really good sound, while other use only some speakers, most notably the subwoofer doesn't work with some shots.

I've searched various websites with no luck... Any thoughts?

Thanks a lot in advance! (BTW I have the settings in windows set right... every other game works well)
