I'm back - with an audio problem!

Hello fellow kuleuns,

I've been away with various things taking up my time, like reinstalling win XP and now I can't get SH3 to run.

I reinstalled SP2 plus all updates, then did the normal clean install of SH3, installed patch 1.4b, used multiSH3 and installed GWX. When I start SH3, after the copy protection the screen goes black and my system gets very sluggish. The same happens with stock SH3. When I used enditall to kill SH3 I got an 0x00000004 (Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices error), could not read error.

I have an Envy 24HT sound card (that worked fine with SH3 before). I downloaded the latest driver, but when I tried installing it I got "access denied." This happened with using both the setup that came with the new driver and when trying to install it manually. Windows finds the driver, but I still got "access denied." Also, when I rebooted I got "protection error, error 85," which I googled and could only find an obscure reference to Win NT. Help!
