Windows sound problem...

[philio16]

Hey

Im having a small problem with my sounds in windows, I can play music back through Winamp fine, but for some reason I get no sound from anything else like Flight sim etc

Any ideas?

Cheers!

Bit more info...I have two svchost.exes running, one is sitting there idle but the other one is taking anywhere between 0% and 99% of my cpu time constantly, and is taking 49mb of mem....whenever I end it, I lose my sound....any ideas why this could be?

defintely dodgy that.... it's not uncommon to have 4 or more instances of svchost.exe running but they shouldn't be using all those resources.

i recommend a full windows update and virus check.

cheers Ill leave that running tonight!

if not, Im back at uni in a month or so anyway, a reformat might be a good idea!
