a7n8x deluxe sound.... again!

As I mentioned before, I had to jumper disable SATA.... Now sound is working, however, two issues:

1. Incoming and outgoing icq messages are mute! Even though the alert sounds are enabled...

2. The following message is shown when I try to play those Windows wav sample files (login, asterisk, critical error, low battery):

Windows cannot play %SystemRoot%\media\"file".wav. The sound card may be being used....

What is this?

THanks.

try to reinstall soundstorm drivers

I'll be damned!!! This is what happened:

I have an aha-2940au adapter, however, its bios would not load. Sata was enabled onboard (jumper SATA_EN1). Sata's bios was loaded instead of aha-2940's. After WinXP install, no soundcards were found, just the nForce audio codec interface. So I disabled SATA (jumper SATA_EN1). Aha2940au and sound device were found and respective drivers loaded.

HOWEVER, the default device for sound playing (reproduction) was set as Modem #0, instead of "nvidia nForce audio". That was a leftover of the initial installation, when SATA was enabled and WinXP couldn't find the sound device.

Very simple. I confess I was scared.
Thank you very much for your time!!!
