SigmaTel High Definition Audio Codec
Hi,
I have been having problems with respect to sound with a Dell PC I have recently bought. Windows Media Player refused to play music stating that the sound device was currently being used by another application, even though there were no other applications open. I then proceeded to check the device manager and there was an exclaimation mark against the sound drivers. I tried to install the Satc97 adrivers and restarted the computer and this seemed to have worked. Except soon later the problem occurred again and would not go away. A few days later it started working again randomly, and now it just breaks and works on of its own accord. I have tried reinstalling and restarting again but it does not fix the problem. Can anybody help me.
The PC is a Intel P4 running WinXP. It was a package deal from dell.
Kind regards,
Ant

I didn't buy WMP, If you read carefully I said Dell PC I just bought. ----note the fullstop. Then proceeded with "Windows Media Player...."
