Diamond XTreme Sound HELP!

[SurferJoe46]

I've Googled my fingers off trying to find an update for the driver on the Xtreme Sound card.

I had a crash a bit ago, and the results were (via Windows/M$) that it was a driver failure on my sound card.

I opened the properties on the sound card - nada!

I went to the INFO on the sound card control panel and NOTHING matches anything I can find from Diamond's site.

No numbers match, no descriptions match - like I said: "NADA".

If I provide the codec and some other numbers on the 'INFO' card, can anyone help?

PCI 3D AUDIO CONFIGURATION - INFORMATION

3D AUDIO ENGINE: XEAR3D CRL3D DS3D GAX2.0 A3D1.0

Where can I find driver updates?

Double click on the entry in device manager, Then go to the details tab. Change it to hardware ids. Press ctrl-c to copy one / all of the lines here. Then ctrl-v and paste it in here. Or in Google. See what it says

You couldn't find anything because CM18768 is not correct.

CMI is always C-Media

I'm having something new now. My WMP is a really shutting down and crashing my outer.

I disconnected my external sound system, tested all the speakers and they are at normal values.

If I turn the speakers/amp ON -- after WMP is running then it's all fine. But if I try to change a song or click on another URL for some streaming radio, I get a black screen, a reboot and a card telling me to report it to M$.a

The extra info says I have an audio problem.

I'm sure I have only one driver installed, 'cause I bet that would foul things up.

Where's my new 'puter?

[Agent_24]

Which driver did you install?

[SurferJoe46]

I went and got a cd of the original - didn't know I had it

[Agent_24]

Maybe you should try one of the newer drivers from the download page, might fix the problem

I've given up on WMP - there are other players that do work - well, it is.

They don't have any troubles, just WMP.
