Do they use DSound out? Yes, No, Maybe? You didn't answer if you had
*reinstalled* them or if they are just the latest. That makes a huge
difference. Do older versions produce the same bug?

I already told you what other programs (RP, Nero!) My Sound card is SB 
Audigy2 with the latest driver (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2_1_84_50.exe) installed 
released 7/29/2004
"Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update
SBA2-WEBUP-W7-LB
This update combines the features and fixes of two previous updates:
  a.. EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and 
Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March 2004)
  b.. EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Update for Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 
2/Audigy 2 ZS (released on 19 November 2003)"
My Creative players do not have this problem either.
