Low sound

Yesterday and today, when i started PR, all ingame sounds were lower (I ran game at 10% wich was more than enough, changed it to 15%, doesnt make a difference while this problem is active.). The sounds are nower but also a bit muffled. Like tis some sort of overlay muffling the game and computer. I have everything set on 100, in mixer table in the properties, everything unchecked that could cause problems.
However, i had the game audio set on Software, High and EAX enabled. Now i changed to Hardware, High and EAX enabled. I only have a built in soundcard, wich is proably me. Thing is, i've never had such a problem, except with skype controling the mics or game volume being lowered when on voice programs, but that i disabled long long ime ago and it still is that way.
Any ideas?

is it low and muffled outside BF2 or just in BF2?
because it if it low outside of BF2 it can be a hardware problem

I dont know for sure if its muffled outside PR. Ill have to test a bit more. (I notice a change immediately in PR but outside, i dont have a constant comparison point.)
My bro just got Test Drive Unlimited 2 the day it started occuring. Might have to do something with it. Ill need to investigate a bit.

Ye its a sound CP in Win7. Go to Win7 CP Sound>Communications and tick Do nothing. Apply.
Then if its still low Alt+Tab to desktop while in game and right click on mixer in system tray ( Open Volume Mixer ). You should see BF2 in there so bump the Volume slider up and that's it.

Done all of that. It fixed itself when i restarted the computer, i just wanna know how to avoid/fix it if it pops up again.
Ive played PR now, worked good. However, i had Loudness Equalization turned on, wich affected the game, but when i got the problem the first time, it was not on as far as i remember.
