If you still have problems with Winamp, and you're using WDM drivers for your soundcard or AC97 onboard audio device, you might wanna install this Microsoft WDM patch for 98SE. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO 98SE(4.10.2222) USERS, PATCH WILL NOT INSTALL ON Win98(4.10.1998).

Hey Wish :) :up: :D

I'll add this thread to the relevant section in TSGH -> Useful Links
(WDM Soundcard driver issues)

btw, is it related to this M$ fix, or is it a totally different one?

DJEgg,

You're right, it's related to that one, but 269601 is newer than 242937. Unfortunately there's no page on 269601 on MS' support site though.

I found two official pages with more on why this patch is worth installing:

Windows Driver Kit: Audio Devices - Additional Requirements for Windows 98 - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms789979.aspx

Audio Device Performance and Windows XP: Best Practices for Drivers - Special Concerns for Older Operating Systems - Quick Fix Package for WavePci on Windows 98 Second Edition - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/highperf-drv.mspx#EGBAC
