i also got a sound blaster audigy value sound card....

the problem is that when i playy somethin in any media player, and if i open some other window.... the sound breaks up and even the system hangs up for a moment.....
it happens always, even if im playin a song and open "my computer" , the system hangs and sound breaks up....

i tried installin sound driivers again.....but no success....
i closed all mybackground process...but still the problem continued....

even if i use m,y onboard sound controller...the same problem is there.....

i checked the DMA access...everything is enabled....but still nothing is solving myproblem.....

even while playin games....there is continous hang up's, so its sorta makin mylife difficult
