Daniel - you're a top geezer. I didn't know of the existence of the
settings in Control Panel, but on your advice, I had a look, and found it
was set at Direct Sound. I found another setting for Windows Preferred, and
set that, and it works. Not perhaps as well as I would like, but I have
always had sound issues in XP, and it has never been as good as ME. You
would think, after about 30 minutes talking to Apple, they might have
suggested that, wouldn't you? That's one reason why I never use my Mac now.
I'll work my way through some of the other settings now, in case there is a
better one.
Thanks again!
The other Daniel please note.
