Hi Richard,
First thing I'd do is check my control panel-->System-->Harware-->device
manager, and see if you have any yellow "?"'s which indicate a problem with your
drivers or resources.

Second, have you uploaded any audio codecs or sound drivers recently? They can
interfere with each other. The AC3 codecs knock off the sound to the WinDVD
codecs, even though both play sound from a CD, for instance. Nero (a popular CD
burning program, has definitely frozen up if it's drivers fire up on a computer
where CD Creator has been loaded.

Third, I'd check the control panel-->sounds and multimedia area for anything
indicating a problem, or non-default selections.

My guess is you have a driver interference problem, and will have to
unload/reload/update the right drivers so CM9000 can say it right.

Best wishes,
Dave
