Wonder if anyone can shed light on a strange problem I've got:
Yesterday, I felt like playing Black + White, as I hadn't done for ages. So I installed it, which went through fine. When I started playing it, I had no sound (I've got an SB Audigy 5.1 with the latest drivers, which, up to now has been working fine). I quit Black + White, and I had no sound in my desktop either, no sound anywhere in fact. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and that had no effect. In the end, in desperation, I uninstalled the sound card from the device manager, rebooted, reinstalled it, and then the sound came back.
Fine, I thought, just an odd Windows based glitch. But when I try B+W again, exactly the same thing happens.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening, and how I can get round it?
