Uninstalled Winamp ages ago as the recent (version 5) ones always seemed to be completely unstable and crash. When it was good I paid for the full version.
My wife asked if we could listen to some internet stations, and after a brief look at WMP I decided to download the latest version of Winamp. All was good for first few days, but I tried to hear what my wife was saying so pressed pause. After a few moments I pressed play and the sound was like a barely received radio station. Loads of static. I had no control over the volume level (nothing happened when moved), and was the same on every station or recording.
I tried logging in on different account and rebooting (turned off then on). Winamp gave exception errors and windows claimed I had no audio device installed. I uninstalled winamp, turned off the computer and turned off the power supply. Left it 10 secs then rebooted.
Everything was fine again. So was this winamp somehow screwing up the sound card, or something funny going on with my x-fi?
Reference: X-fi Fatal1ty FPS. Base card installed, i/o module not used.
