Thankyou everyone for your help and time!!!! It is good to...

Ok, good to know, thanks for the advice, I will see about getting that done :)

So basically I still have this issue, I recently bought a Logitech G430 headset with mic, it has a built in sound driver with USB so I thought that would make a difference, it is a slight difference...

I installed and ran the Intel Driver Update Utility, it came back with a chipset driver update, I installed the update but that didn't fix it

Ok guys,

So tried those things and they didn't work, so in my pain I did a system restore to 48hrs ago, it worked, my sound now works as normal!!! I still have no clue exactly what it was...

In my case isn't the correct audio sound driver the Azus Realtek audio manager? I mean, thats what I uninstalled to make my mess in the first place, I have tried installing updated realtek sound...
