Hi Zars,

Sorry to hear about the problem. Was everything working OK before?

It sounds to me like there is a hardware resource conflict. The first thing I would suggest is going into the Device Manager. Look for any yellow circles with "!" in them. These indicate devices that are conflicting or having problems. Check the resource usage on these devices and make sure they aren't trying to each grab the same IRQ, DMA or I/O addresses.

You might also have some luck getting updated drivers. Check the Yamaha web site for drivers appropriate to the sound card model you have.

Good luck and thanks for visiting the forums!
