AzureNightmareX1 · Post by **AzureNightmareX1** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 1:06 am

Ever since i got rid of the programming disaster that is Windows Vista Ultimate X64 and reinstalled XP pro 32 bit with SP2, Ive been having this weird issue with my sound. sound clips will trigger randomly, some i recognize, others I do not. Ive tried everything possible to stop it but it seems to not stop no matter how hard i try. the clips range from sound effects of various types to 1 or 2 second music clips. I just want it to stop. Can anybody help me The sound card im useing is onboard AC'97 sound on an Epox ULi socket 939 motherboard.

uninstall your audio drivers and reinstall them

If you got the drivers from windows update - go back to the manufacturers website and download them from there!! Then do NOT install the windows update ones. Windows update sends wrong audio updates out for a bunch of onboard audio from my experiences!

I figure reinstalling the ones from the manuf. website will work for you.

I tired everything that was suggested, even reinstalled my OS, and nothing seems to be correcting the problem, its really irritating since I like to watch videos and listen to music on my computer

You probably need to use another O/S, earlier windows version to reformat the disk, THEN reinstall windows XP, and hope that Vista didn't update the bios or damage something.
