  Kelly, I think I have narrowed my audio problem down to
streaming content!
  All the other tests were with streams either Music
Videos with Yahoo Launch, wsmonline.com radio stream, and
a Quick Time movie trailer.

   This time I copied a song from a CD to my HD and played
it with Media Player9 it played until I went to logon to
another user then the player "stopped" playing. As it
should according to my last post quoting from KB294855.

  Narrowed the audio problem now to streaming media
content online. Now to find out why and how to fix it>
