So my headphones (Roccat Kulo) were running 7.1 surround, and my computer was REALLY dusty, so I unplugged it all, and cleaned all the dust out. I plugged it all back in, and I can't get it to change back to 7.1 Surround sound. The "Configure" button in my sounds menu is grayed out and i can't click it, and that's where I thought the option was. Help please! Windows 7 :p

I'm using Roccat Kulo's with an external sound card, so I plug the mic/speaker part into the thing, then into a USB port. I couldn't have blown dust into it because I cleaned my computer outside, and left the card inside.

It was the sound card that was giving me trouble recently!!!!!!!!

I've also had a funny static noise pop up randomly, and it's really loud and obnoxious and that's completely gone when I took out the sound card.

I REALLY miss the quality of sound, but I do have the surround sound back.
