know where. it's just a lie.

It took me a while to figiure it out, but the newer versions of the direct sound plugin are skippy, while it's not perfect try the 1.0.1.0 aud.dll DirectSound Audio Plugin. Browse for it on google that's the easiest way.

It can be for various reasons, however it happened to me when I tried to make the player use the DirectX functionality. As soon as I switched back to "software", all this behavior dissapeared. In WinAmp (this is the player of choice for me) there's a setting that states "use directsound output" I guess it also depends on the configuration and on the way the directX is setup. That behavior happened all the time on a previous computer I had, however the last one works fine with directsound...

This is the person who asked the question. They don't let you put more info, so here goes: I put in a CD last night, and it was working just fine. All of a sudden, when I got to the last track, my sound just stopped! I checked everything: I've done the "Start/Run/dxdiag/sound" testing, and when I pressed "Test DirectSound" I heard the noise! But every CD I put in now just won't work. My speakers are on, they're plugged in, and my computer says "No problems found." When I got on it today, it did start off with "Recently your computer was found with an unexpected error, and we would like to report this, and blah blah blah" and so on. I clicked "Send error report" and it didn't really do anything but send the report . . . any ideas? =D
