I thought it actually was a realtek sound card I have that I have never been happy with (I could remove the card & use onboard sound but dont like messing with (=opening) the machine).

Why not just disable it in the Device Manager to test your theory? :)

BlueScreenView by NirSoft - find driver causing blue screen

...I had an error report for the Dr.Watson debugger last year - .... That means I don't have any reports in BlueScreenView since May 2008 . -tomos (October 04, 2009, 11:48 AM)

I have checked further, within the last half an hour, and it seems to me that Ashampo probably has nothing to do with my Blue Screens. ...

I am going to re-install Ashampoo.  :up:-Curt (October 04, 2009, 11:10 AM)

I've had numerous problems with RealTek High Definition Audio drivers at various times.-40hz (October 04, 2009, 02:02 PM)

The good thing about Realtek is that they seem to take their audio drivers seriously. They are always releasing new driver versions so they seem to be serious about stomping bugs. If one driver version gives you a problem rest assured in a month or so there'll be a new version to try.

I wish other sound card manufacturers were so diligent in their releases.

cmedia is here:

[edit] added corrected :-[ the version number
[edit2] there doesnt appear to be a more recent version, I presume it's related to the Realtek soundcard, which hasnt had any updates since I installed the already old driver from cd that came with it (2 years ago now I think..)-tomos (October 04, 2009, 02:27 PM)

I'm a little confused, Tomos. You say there are CMedia audio drivers installed on your system, but keep saying you have a Realtek soundcard. Those are two different companies & a Realtek soundcard isn't going to use CMedia drivers.

Both companies, however, do most of their business with OEM manufacturers and due to agreements they have with PC and motherboard manufacturers some drivers for some soundcards never appear on the Realtek & CMedia sites. In these cases you have to go to the site of your computer or motherboard maker and download the drivers from there.
