I have a diamond monstersound mx300 (Aureal Vortex2) i have been running win2k pro for quite somtime now, and have gotten used to my soundcard problems.. But it has to be something i can fix, for example, if im listening to an mp3 and windows makes a "ding" sound, it makes the song skip and most of the time have to restart, and i play games that when the cdrom is spinning, it starts to play the music that is supposed to, then stops! i took the cd out to test and it played the music fine! (but i need the cd) almost the same problem with starcraft, sometimes after im playing for a while and i skip from track to track, i start hearing a little hi pitched noise.. then i lose all sound/music! i exit the game and the sound is all messed up, i try to play an mp3 it will play abut 1/2 second of it, press play again another 1/2 second and stop, then i tried to load up another game and it said directx is still in use or seomthing, i have DirectX8, win2k SP1, Aureal Vortex2 WDM drivers... what could possibly be the problem! please help!
 
P.S. I dident have these problems when running windows 95/98....
