I posted earlier and I wrote the wrong maker of my sound
card. I have a Avance AC97 sound card and I
think "environmental effects" are on; everything I play
sounds like it's coming from inside a big hall. Can
anyone tell me how to turn them off? Do I go into the
Control Panel? I need a step by step pattern of how to do
this. Any help is appreciated.

Just like the 3 other answers you have gotten they should be in your control
panel. look in sounds and multimeda. None of these are included in
Windows, they are installed by the extra software programs that come with
the sound card drivers.

>Do you have a c-media mixer or any type at all? open
this up and look for "tools" click on tools this should
open up an "advanced" window that should have some tabs
with "speakers" "volume" " sound effect" and some other
keys. this is some what generic info. Other option is to
open up you HELP files and type in sound effects.
