Michael,

Good job...sorry didn't see a post regarding this problem. Might have saved you a hassle.

If you need it in the future, there's an easy way to access the Hardware accellerators, which have been used to cure many audio/video conflict problems.

Anyway...

Click START, RUN, type in DXDIAG, click OK.

When dxdiag opens, across the top will be the tabs for the audio devices installed. Opening them will access the Hardware Accellerator sliders. The first tab is usually the sound card and is the one that generally needs adjusting.

Hope this helps in the future.

George
