Do you have a soundblaster also connected to this computer? or other low
resolution sound card?
If you do disable them in samp audio setup.

No, there's no such soundcard in my system.

However, I discussed on this matter in alt.sekd, and they say I have to
upgrade to Sam 6.05 because MME drivers are only for 16 bits play back,
and support for WDM is only available in the upgrade.

Here's a copy of our discussion, in case anyone is interested :



Yes , You have to upgrade to 6.05 to access WDM .
