Sound for entire computer keeps cutting off while listening to MC14

(1/3) > >>

apeponderingtail:
This has happened a couple of times before but it's been so long I can't remember how I fixed it.  MC14 was the only open program on my computer and keyboard and mouse were across the room and in the middle of a song the sound for the my entire computer cuts off.  I have windows XP and I've checked the volume icon (playback control) and sounds and devices in control panel, and my sound card configurations (SB Audigy) and nothing is out of order.  Whatever happened is definitely MC related.

Please help!

Mr ChriZ:
What output mode are you using?
Options -> Audio -> Output mode.

Certain options may exhibit this behaviour for technical/audio purity reasons.
 DirectSound shouldn't exhibit this problem

Sorry, but I can't agree.

If you haven't changed anything on the PC when this happens, it's likely to be a driver or hardware issue.  Try updating the driver.

(I'm assuming that there are no network issues involved, and that storage is local.)

The output mode is set to Direct Sound.

I left my pc on overnight and the sound is back on now. Weird!

Do you mean the driver for MC? How do I do that, uninstall/reinstall?  Or do you mean the driver for my sound card?

All of my music files are stored on an external drive if that matters.
