Firstly, hello!

Secondly, I really struggled to find an appropriate section to post this in, I hope this will do.

My issue:

Every time I change my sound playback device from 'line/mic in' to headset (USB) my computer programs crash. I then have to wait between 10 seconds - 3 minutes for it to respond.

In depth:

I can click 'disable' without a problem, the moment I click 'enable' the problem occurs. IT happens switching from either to either ect.

Anybody have any idea? Its not a biggie but it can be very annoying..


Thanks!


p.s. I have uploaded an image just to be a little more clear.

Not sure if this is helpful or not but it sounds like an audio driver issue. I had something similar a while ago where my box would lock up when changing audio devices from external speakers to a USB heads set. A site I was looking at regarding this problem mentioned audio driver issues.
