whenever i switch themes to nonstep, the next time i reboot i get a bad directsound driver problem with my music...but this only happens only AFTER i reboot. when i first run the theme, everything is ok, just after i reboot i get this problem...help? :(
running winxp pro and my sound is Realtek ac97 Audio (dont know the card =/)
Try reinstalling directX and getting the newest drivers from Realtek (I take it it's either a cheap card or onboard audio). Odd problem, and I've yet to have any issues, having used several boards w/ Realtek codecs on them (AL650 right now).
the problem persists..btw i use onboard audio
Does the driver have a program it usualy starts up by any chance? I've noticed sometimes my ATi and Philips stuff won't start up, sometimes they will. I've never had issues w/ Realtek, but back when I was trying various shells, many had trouble with the C-Media driver, as it had a mixer app that had to start for any sound to work (Aston and LS were the only shells it worked fine with).
yeap, the sound manager started up...its in the systray right now lol
