For about 2-3 weeks, my computer has been stopping playing sounds (music) randomly, and usually the issue is solved with a computer restart

I use a M-Audio Fast Track Pro as an external sound card (need it for music/studio purposes) it's been working fine for over a yr even so I had outdated drivers.

It works fine on all the other computers I tired it on.

Ran a virus scan with the latest virus database (i use Zone Alarm) and it detected nothing.

The same problem is happening with my internal sound card too, updated its drivers and yet, I can get no sounds!

 

I believe this might be useful:

[hide= Specs]

Windows Xp Home edition sp3

Intel ® Pentium ® D CPU 3.2Ghz

2.0 GB of RAM

Physical Address Extension (idk what is this it was from the properties of my computer) [/hide]

 

I went in Device Manager and found wrong.

 

So what could be the problem?

 

Also, PLEASE do not tell me what to do unless telling me how to do it (ex: Omg dude open the command nnhsvrhrdfthtcmmnd in sector 232) <- that = BIG NO

^ also means I don't know a alot about computers so be kind :)

If you need more info, please tell me how and where to get it.

 

Thanks. :thumbsup:

bump? :(

I went in Device Manager and found wrong.

What did you find wrong?

 

What is listed in your Device Manager under sound?

Are you trying to use both your internal sound card and your external M-Audio Fast Track Pro?

If yes, they could be conflicting with each other.
