Strange sound problem

[IMTheWalrus8]

I just got a brand new Dell E-310, and I've got Poker Tracker and just got PokerAce and everything is great except for one thing - I lose my sound and I can't figure out why.

Sounds works when I turn my computer on, and if I don't play poker. Sounds works if I play one or two sites. But when I have PT and PA running, I lose sound. I have to reboot to get it working again, but it really seems to be connected to PT and/or PA, and it doesn't take long for the sound to disappear again.

Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy ...

i've seen this happen with software audio and poker as well. playing 2 sites simultaneously, one will stop audio output until the computer is rebooted. i don't think it's PT/PA related. if it's happening constantly you could try getting a cheap full-hardware pci sound card like a soundblaster live.
