This sounds much like a machine I worked on that would do something almost the same (though usually only 1 or 2 times per week and only after it had been rebooted). The only way to get the sounds right was to disable the device, and then re-enable it. You could try that. After that I am out of ideas (Ceresia - you monitoring? What are your thoughts) I do know that there is a driver update for the Soundmax driver for HP/Compaq machines (driver version 5.12.1.3620) (you could go to the HP site to get or to http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/soundmax-audio.html) If you have some other maker, did you check their website for the latest driver? Note that since Analog Devices never wrote reference drivers for the SoundMax device you must use the motherboard manufacturers driver. Also is yours the Soundmax Digital Audio, or the Soundmax Digital HD Audio?
