tonight i checked on google about audio issues with skyrim because tonight i was using my headset which is a plantronics gamecom pro 1 and i bearly got a whisper out of skyrim (i've used my headset in skyrim before with no audio issues) i had it set about halfway which should have blasted my ears off, i turnesd it back down and exited the game and checked my headset by playing an mp3 music file and it played fine, the only changes i made where i changed my monitor to an older lcd screen which has a faster response time then my other lcd screen and i upgraded my video card's drivers to catalyst 12.10 (my card is a radeon hd 6570 1 gig).
