O.P. MSN taking over soundcard
For MSN, read Windows Live Messenger!

I have had this problem from time to time in the past, but it has returned on both my pcs.  There is an ad on MSN today that seems to take over my sound card.  With MSN open, I cannot play back WMP or any sound player (I do a lot of audio editing), and all my MSN sounds don't play either.  The error is that my sound card is in use and as soon as I sign out of MSN, I can play back again.

This has happened on both my PCs so it's obviously not unique to one pc, but two others have not got this problem.  HAs anyone else got this/got a solution/know how to prevent it happening.  I huess I could just wait until the ad changes, but it's just so annoying.

Any info would be most useful.

Neil
