In a previous post, I said how installing a Native Instruments soft synth buggered up my drivers. I think I figured something that may be relevant. My card is a really old Soundblaster - uses ES1370/73? chipset or some such. Its drivers are built into Windows XP. so, if you're ONLINE, Soundblaster drivers check the Soundblaster site for latest versions. And these can be MUCH inferior to earlier releases, as is the case with ES1373)/70 drivers. Solution: install Sounblaster stuff OFFLINE if you don't want this to happen. -- http://www.gillsmith999.plus.com/
