but that doesnt make any sense, ive had the same sound card ever since i bought the computer, and never had any problems with sound. so how could it be the power supply?

It hardly matters "how" your problem came to pass...what's important is isolating the cause and then fixing it.Originally posted by orcutt989@8 May 2004 - 16:07

Power supplies, just like soundcards, don't last forever, so it's a possibility I guess.

I'd try searching for the latest drivers, OR have the original drivers and try those.
I had a sound issue out of nowhere and tried to update the drivers...worked for a bit, then caused my system to crash. That's why I say to have the drivers used originally *they are known to work*.
I'd also, remove sound card from device manager and reboot and install drivers from there.
