Ok here is the problem.One day i just turn the pc on and i have no sound.I get this error "bad direct sound driver". the audio card is integrated on the mobo abit IS7-E and i use XP pro sp2.I tryed averithing i can i uninstaled all audio drivers and install them again and still the same problem.i even dowloaded the latest Realtek`AC97 drivers but still the same. And in device manager i see that all drivers are properly installed and that the sound card is working properly.Than i thought it may be my XP and i even uninstaled it formated pc an reinstall all and still the same "bad direct sound driver" What the hell is that? Is that some driver or maybe my sound card is relly dead? Pls if someone know somethin pls write on the post because if i cant do anything i will buy new sound card in the next few days.
