You are absolutely right Walter, and I have stated  many times on his
newsgroup, that I thought the common denominator in this sound debacle
was FS98.  At the same time, one person at  Hercules had stated to me
many months ago that this was their problem since it seemed to occur
with greater consistency on the Hercules Stingray than on any other
card. Since then they have come out with 2 drivers, and still no sound
fix.  I e mailed them last week and asked for a progress report on the
sound and have heard zero as of this moment.  And I sort of feel at
this point that it will be quite awhile before they release anything
addressing the sound problem. ( You get that way after week after week
after week  of waiting).

So, I am hopeful that Microsoft has a solution for this problem,
because it looks like that is going to be the quickest solution for
the Stingray owners that have listened to "Gurgles" for almost 3
months.

( Ya know, normal audio is starting to sound weird at this point <g>)
