WMP10 wiping out my sound card drivers

[Guest sgopus]

recently I used WMP10 to play a midi file, I then used musicmatch to play a

different file and got silence. I had to reinstall my soundcard drivers to

get my sound back, I'm using xp pro the latest svs packs and updates, and

just to test things I tried WMP10 again, sure enough I lost sound,

reinstalled my sound card drives I got music, what's the deal??

 

Oh yeah, my sound card is creative sound blaster live, I know it's old and

not supported anymore, during this I found my disgnostics software (creative)

wouldn't work either (not found)

Is your audio adaptor integrated in the mobo? Do you have another adaptor

you can try?

Nope, seperate IDE sound card. I built a new pc to replace this one, as it's

aging, ie the sound card is no longer supported. and it has a slower CPU.

 

I was considering getting a new sound card, haven't checked out the prices

recently, so will have to do my research, I guess.

May I recommend NewEgg? Looking at the prices it appears you have many

inexpensive choices.

I got most of my new pc parts from them, so I'm used to dealing with them.

Re: WMP10 wiping out my sound card drivers

 

Your "tinkering" caused the problem. You figure it out. Why

blame WMP 10? It is not the culprit.

Jeez...some people's kids.
