Hello Bernard,

That is truly interesting! Let me clarify, after firing up WC3, your audio
has gone back to normal?

I suspect that is has something to do with codec initialization, but I am
not sure. I will have to look into that.

I will bring this information to the Windows Media folks. Thanks for the
update. I will also keep track of this thread since it appears no one got
back to you previously. I do apologize for that. :-(
