324672 2005-02-13 16:20:00 help!!!!!!! iv just bought my pc last month, and im already encountering problems . . .

at first,, it was working fine,, but recently, in the middle of the game, the sound goes out . .

i checked everything (physically) but all connections were just fine .

i tried opening the sound effects manager while playing . and when the prblem starts, the manager reports a connection error . . that the line is not connected properly . . .

i used different speakers, but it didn't help . . . please help me!!!!!

and i repeat . . the problem only occurs when i play a game . . (pacific assault, warhammer:dawn of war, nba 2005 . . simply put, all my games . )

What version of DirectX do you have installed? You can find this out by going Start > Run and entering in dxdiag. Also, try out the sound tests available in dxdiag. Post back here with your results.

Do the tests & see if there is a problem
Check Windows update for any hardware updates & also check your boards manufacturer for any driver updates
