I am currently using Winamp 5 for my MP3 playback. and use my SB Audigy 2 Platinum EZ ONLY for Winamp and mp3.. But here is a weird problem... When i install the driver... the first week the sound is perfect.. but suddenly it seems like the volum and quality gradually goes down... and finally.. the driver stop to respond.. not a sound... it just cuts ALL sound... the soundcard produces sound.. because Winamp is still tracking DirectSound patterns while playing the sound.. but for some reason.. the sound won't reach the Outputs... and thats kinda weird.. I am using the Platinum front panel for audio.. So basicly i guess that the sound inputs and outputs on the Frontpanel is the problem.. that the driver operating the frontpanel get some sort of a crash.. because i have to reinstall the whole driver to get it to work again... regards Firsty
