The point of my comment is that I don't believe there is anything internal to the sound card that can be "permanently" changed such that a reboot (power down) won't bring the card back to it's default state. The only suggestion I can give is to get away from Windows completely. And, I'm not being glib here. There are next to ZERO Windows programs that can't be run under Linux. You may be suffering from "Windows Entropy". It's that state your machine gets into after 2-3 years (or earlier). Sure, you're technically savy and you've kept the machine tidy. You've defragged, you've spam and malware scanned, you've removed unused DLLs. Hell, you've even run registry cleaners. Doesn't matter. After 2-3 years, your machine is sluggish and unstable. You need to wipe it clean and start over. So, back to my suggestion. I'd backup your computer, wipe it clean and install the latest Ubuntu distribution. Sure, there will be a small learning curve involved. But, at a point not far down the road you'll feel a very heavy weight being lifted off your shoulders as you realize you can do everything you did before. And, it will be faster, more reliable, virus free, and you won't have to cough up $200+ every few years for a new version of the same old pain.

Any suggestions? Repeated re-booting did not improve the situation. The soundcard worked great for Mandriva Linux FLdigi program, but would not "hear" under Windoze programs. Doing a Windoze "restore" to a point before the problem, solved the Windoze problem. So, what else could there be? If Linux didn't cause the problem, then the problem happened solely under Windoze, but either way, i have no idea how it happened, or what exactly happened. I described the symptoms and the (superficial) cause or sequence of events, but deductions can be wrong.
