Although there is nothing I can do about this, there is something you can do - complain to your sound card manufacturer and ask for updated drivers. It is possible that they have a driver that will fix the problem. CD Player Start the CD playing and note whether or not you can hear it. Start recording with the Sound Recorder and note whether the sound stops. If in step 5 the music stops coming out of the speakers, you have one of these poor drivers.
Some sound cards reduce the volume to the speakers when recording begins.
We've tried to work around this as much as possible, but remember that the Mixer module is available to allow you to adjust the sound volumes if needed. Therefore, if you experience one of these lockups, the only way to fix it is get better drivers from your computer or sound card manufacturer. We've also noticed that the majority of the people reporting lockups have been using Cyrix CPUs. We don't know if the Cyrix chip is the cause of the problem on those computers, but we thought we should mention it. It is a spectrum analyzer.
