yes... that would be it. I would try to find updated drivers for it, uninstall the card and reinstall with new drivers. I found a good link for your drivers here - it's a russian site... as always, make sure you scan the zip file for viruses if you download it. look for ESS 1938. http://arhipelag.overta.ru/computers/support/drivers/sound.shtml ~s ----- From: "Tammy Mobley" > Power connections are fine also. Two days ago, I installed a game called Hard Truck II. It was playing fine yesterday though. I did go into system device manager and nothing was showing in yellow or red.
