BTW: I experience the same issue with a "regular" WXP x86 SP3 system. freshly purchased and installed on an asus M2M MB with AMD Dual core... nothing fancy. all new with my old SB Audigy plugged into a PCI slot. This happens when I installed the most recent update: SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0001.exe: mixer starts in the background and is shut down instantly again by the system! When using SBAX_WBUP2_LB_2_09_0016.exe instead the audio functions (incl. mixer2.exe) are working nicely, but no MIDI device is detcted - BEAUTIFULL!!! MIDI is essential for me!!! Furthermore the Device name of the SB card is reduced to DC00 in all Win Applications (and the "AudioHQ")... Oh, and before I forget, certainly the older drivers (original CD and 2003 version: AUDDRVPACK_L11.EXE, which I used on my former system with XPSP2) do NOT work anymore. "Rear" speakers make funny noises in 4 speaker mode and so on... I spare you the details, shortly: It all sucks Do we need to be patient for the next SP3 Bugfixes?
