Thx for the suggestions...

Still not working.

1 Winamp still has problem
2 There is no treble and bass control on this card.

I must have a corrupt file somewhere... I don't know how else to find it.

I really don't want to wipe my drive and do a fresh install!

Normally audio is not so important... in fact I turned off all those
annoying windows sounds ages ago.... but I am a musician and audio is quite
important. Good thing my Cakewalk audio program still performs without
distortion.

Thx

HJ
