ok, and what's this about sound cards? How do I change that setting?
right click on volume icon in taskbar (icon in lower right corner) --> click "Playback devices" --> scroll down until you see the default sound card (has green circle with check mark on it) --> click on it then click on properties
click on the "Advanced" tab --> change the format to "24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) --> Test sound to make sure it works then click "OK"
