First off, system specs:

Windows 7 x64
X68 mobo
GTX590
16gb 1600mhz ram
Intel 2500k
M-Audio Profire 2696
Non overclocked system

Now, I have incredibly low volume. I've seen this is a known issue with the Realtek cards, however what about pro cards? I have to crank the volume just to hear the game, and considering I'm in a recording studio if I forgot to reset the volume... I suffer greatly when playing music again. I read the fix is about forcing your soundcard from 5.1 to 2.1, however can you do that in a config file? I don't even have any of those options in my card. Granted, it's made for pro audio, not gaming, but it works absolutely perfect with other gaming titles, even other Bethesda titles.

Now, since the last patch I've been getting weird problems in game. Things will bounce around. I shot a Draugar and he was on the floor, then all of a sudden he started flying around the room like he had one left tied to a mega-fast ceiling fan. Also, some characters after killed get back up and start jogging on the spot... which is disturbing, but you can't look them. This has only happened a few times but it's annoying.

My main problem I want to resolve though is the incredibly low volume. Does anyone know of a proper fix or a config file change? I changed one value from 1.000 to 5.000 as it said in an online guide, but it made no difference at all
