View Single Post - Sound is Clear then with noise then no sound at all

ive got the same prob

i have a cmi8738, and i installed xp on my computer, when i came to install my sound drivers i came up with a few missing files, which i fixed.

but whenever (and this happens all the time with xp) i come to play an mp3 in WMP9, it seems to play for a few seconds (can tell due to visulisation Movement) then the visulisation seems to stop, but WMP still seems to play the song (can tell due to the movement of the seek bar)

but i know the sound card is not broken because windows wav sounds play on start up, but windows sample and my own music doesn't. can you tell me what the prob is, and maybe a fix.

thanks

edit: its not a conflict between onboard and expansion slot, as ive tried this and the prob consists
