Hi.

This started happening today, and don't remember installing anything significant.

Anyway, ALL sounds are having about a .5second delay echo. E.g. a song starts, then 0.5 seconds later the same song starts, to there are two songs playing on each other.

It is just like having just stated a song in winamp, and moments later having started the same song in windows media player.

What could have gone wrong?

system info is showing a device "Digital audio MSplayer" saying "the device cannot start".

It is a realtek ALC650 (AC97) chip integrated in my ABIT KD7 motherboard (KT400).

Operating system is windows XP, 512Mb ram, athlon XP2600+ processor, 80gb HD, radeon 9700pro.
