I recently installed windows 2003 server onto my computer and I can't get the sound set up right on my computer. I installed the drivers properly and everything looked like it was shaping up. But, then when I try to open Sound Max, the sound program with my audio, it say, 'digital output is taken by another application'. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have tried to manually update the driver, but it didn't work. Could it be that windows 2003 server does not support the xp drivers with the audio? The audio I do have are just the beeps that come from the motherboard. It is almost like it is the primary sound. Any help??

thanks

"digital output is taken by another application"
So it's telling you another application has commandeered the output from the sound card. [I'm a bit concerned by the "digital" part :confused: ]

So how about "Start=>Run=>Open=>msconfig=>ok" to restart in "Diagnostic Startup" [safe mode + CD-drives], to make sure no applications are running in the background.
Then try running "Sound Max" again to see what happens.
