Audio Equalizer is applied twice when viewing fraps footage

Hello,

For some reason my fraps footage has the equalizer effect on it which is doubled again when playing it back. This started happening a few weeks ago, I've tried to trace the exact moment this started happening but had no luck.

Any audiophiles know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your time. 🙂

EDIT: Errr, forgot to actually add some details. I'm using a Corsair Vengeance 2000 and have their software installed - It includes an equalizer, this is where I configure it. From what I can tell, this equalizer is directly linked to the one in the 'Effects' tab in the properties menu of the sound device.

Can you disable it easily? If it is recording mixer output, that has effects enabled, then it is correct, however undesired, behavior to apply it on playback. It doesn't know that the same EQ was applied to the recording.

If you don't want it applied to the recoridng at all, you would need to change the audio stream being recorded. Can FRAPS take only the game's audio stream, by any chance?

It can easily be disabled and set back to what it was yes but I'd rather not. Everybody's voice on teamspeak will sound all wrong as well...

I can remember there being exactly such a setting in earlier versions of fraps but the current one doesn't seem to have any, just a checkbox to "Record Win7 Sound". 🙁

Oh and Yumekui Merry! :3
 
Can you use an older version of FRAPS, maybe, or do you need new features? Strange that they would disable the ability to capture the application's sound stream. Maybe it was buggy for some people?

At first I wanted the demon from the black blood from Soul Eater (Twin Peaks dream dwarf homage), but that was just not going to work at such a small size. It can be surprisingly hard to find a good panel to shrink down to AT's avatar limits, without becoming nearly unidentifiable.
 
There's been quite a few encoding/compression improvements with the new versions over time so I'm quite reluctant to go back to an early version.

I'm still wondering how it worked for me just fine a few weeks ago. :/

I think that its not encoding/compression thing, I think that there is something wrong with the RF mixer since the signal at the output is double everytime
