So I was playing a game with my earphones, then suddenly I start hearing a screeching sound from the right earbud. I assumed it was a bug of some sort so I restart the computer. I put a random youtube video and it still continues to do it, even louder this time. I try another pair of earphones, then the speakers, and it's still happens.
I removed the sound driver from the drivers list, and restart the computer to make windows reinstall it. Still same problem...
The sound from the left side is fine, but the right side's sound is muffled and there's a screeching sound.
It was working just fine an hour ago. Nothing special happened as far as I can tell.
Does this mean my sound card is done for?
edit: I forgot to write; it's screeching even when no sound is playing!
