Sound plays ½ way then quits!
My delima, Sound Blaster AEW64, Have had the sound card in the sysytem for a yr or so, with no real problems, during this last week, I have evidently installed a program, that is useing my sound card and won't let the windows media player work! Get error message that another componet is useing card, and keeping it open! I've tryed to back track, uninstall latest programs installed, with no luck in resolving the conflict, I've D/L the latest drivers for the sound card. I've uninstalled the card (software) reinstalled, loaded the newest windows media player, uninstalled, reinstalled. Gone back to windows media player 6.0, nothing seems to work. Can't check to see if the media files have been corrupted, Player won't play. Question is: Is there a program that I can use to dianose the sound card, or find out WHAT OTHER program has it open, as far as I know, I only have the suond blaster program and windows media player loaded on the unit. Or is it just that the sound card has gone bad.
Thanks for any and all assistance!
