Diamond Monster Sound MX300/Win2K
Hi there, I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and I have a Diamond Monster Sound MX300. I've got a rather interesting problem (I think I do, anyway ) I'm using the standard Aureal A3D chipset drivers that come with W2K and periodically my sound randomly cuts out.
Hi there,
I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and I have a Diamond Monster Sound MX300. I've got a rather interesting problem (I think I do, anyway ) I'm using the standard Aureal A3D chipset drivers that come with W2K and periodically my sound randomly cuts out. I've got service patch 1 installed, and when I run programs like Winamp/Sound Recorder and hit "play" the play bar doesn't move at all (it stays frozen at that point in the file) even if it died in the middle of a file. CD audio still works when its like this, and there is no apparent tie-in to when it happens, its seemingly random, sometimes during the startup noise, sometimes a few hours down the line. After rebooting, I get sound back though (but it still randomly dies, exactly the same as previously mentioned). Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it? Thanks...

I ordered a live! value last night, decided "to hell with it" because I knew of Aureal going out and Diamond trying to ditch support for older cards. Oh well, I'll just slap it in another machine.

To get the Aureal Vortex sound cards to work well under Windows 2000, download the Aureal beta reference Windows 2000 drivers from the Aureal site or http://www.vortexofsound.com.
