Audio stops working eventually until restart

[Guest]

I have an ASUS P4P 800 Deluxe. Integrated SoundMax Digital Audio.

Audio works fine when I first boot up computer. I can play tunes through
iTunes but at some point (I think when I try using WMP 11) the audio stops
working with all programs until I reboot computer.

What could be causing this?

The problem I wrote about is definitely Windows Media Player 11 related.
Audio will actually work with WMP11 until I launch anything URGE related then
all audio stops working until I log back in to my account (no reboot
necessary). I'm using Vista build 5384.

i had the same problem, so i finally gave up on the old sound max chip and
bought a cheapish audigy sound card. havent had any problems since.

I had the same problem on my laptop. For no reason whatsever, the audio
suddenly stopped when playing on WMP and I had to restart. The problem I
found was with a sound card driver upgrade by Windows. I rolled back the
sound card driver to use my old/ original one and everything works now.

I'm still having the same problem the only solution is to restart..I've tried
sleep mode and to disable and enable the sound driver but nothing works....

ANY SOLUTION GUYS ?

Mine starts, as well, but then sometimes stops or audio quality starts
breaking up. Tried different sound configurations, but that didn't help.
