Strange 5.1 Speaker Problem

[Seraphim]

Hi. I've been having this problem for a while... when a character is talking, and I'm facing right at them, they seem muffled. When I turn away, they're talking fine. Does anyone know what this problem might be?

Sounds like a speaker configuration problem...Do you have your center speaker setup properly. Maybe it's just not turned up loud enough?

Yep definately sounds like its setup wrong, or older drivers. Should work fine, fiddle with them and see.
