    Xbox 360 problem

    Ive had this before. Unplug the AV cable from the TV and 360. Unplug the TV from mains. Reconnect and it sorted mine. Strange I know, but it cures mine everytime.

    Turned down the setting in dxdiag as described and it appears to be ok. Will test it good and proper over the next few hours. Will I see any difference slowing the soundcard acceleration at all ?
