Realtek HD audio - bass problems?

I don't know whether this is off topic or not, but I have nowhere else to go seeing as many other sites cant help me.

I've been having this problem with my pc's Surround sound system since i bought it, which was about a year and a half ago. it has Realtek HD audio for use with the surround system, and the problem is when im recording something, like using FRAPS to record game videos or using a microphone to record voice, and play the video/sound back, the audio comes out REALLY quiet, like it came straight out of a pocket radio. Here is a link to a video of me playing Doom 3 recorded with FRAPS:

you will notice that even on max volume, it still sounds quiet and Radio-like. I don't know what to do. Can anybody help?

Sounds like a question for realtek support.shanelevy

:D

lol? is that supposed to make us feel guilty?

Tbh motherboard audio sucks, get a soundcard if you care about audio fidelity.

ok you know what? nevermind. i cant find help anywhere and i should not have expected help from gamespot.EcksBocks360

If this was any other site that would't ban me for any petty insult I would unleash a world of hate upon you right now. But if I get banned I can't help others.

You shouldn't expect help from gamespot? You understand this is just a group of hardware enthusiasts right? Not employees?

We give you an answer to take it to support since nobody here knows about it. Stop being such a jackass and get off your lazy ass and ring them.
