ok, i havent toyed with anything in particular but now, all of a sudden, i am having weird sound problems.
i can't hear sounds in my computer. not when i play MP3, not when i run movies and not when i run games.
when do i DO hear sounds? when i run a clip from the internet
and if i try and use the realtek device to test the surround system

so i can run the surround test and check each of my 5.1 speakers and it's fine. but playing music or in games? nope.
also if i look at my sound volume settings i can see that on the volume meter there is the green line that bounces slightly up and down and represent my MP3 is playing and as if my sound card\device IS playing some sort of sound.
i dont get this!?!
i have a gigabyte motherboard with realtek sound device.
EDIT:
ok, i figured something out. all the sounds are coming from my HDTV that is connected with an adapter from my GPU (6870HD) to the HDMI cable.
the TV is playing the sounds that i want to come out of my computer.
What da heck?
how do i prioritise my computer to deliver the sounds through my 5.1 speakers instead of my HDMI output?
