How do the Windows sounds such as for opening file, closing 
file, etc., get played in Windows 98 SE?  Is there a .WAV 
program that plays them or is there something built into 
Windows that plays them?

I've been having a problem where something gets hold of my 
sound card and won't release it.  When this happens the 
Windows sounds won't play and if I try using a program like 
Winamp that needs the sound card I get a message saying that 
the sound card is being used by another program.  I know I 
could get a multichannel sound card, but this problem really 
has me curious.  The sound card is a Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold.

I haven't been able to find a pattern that causes the problem 
but I have an idea it might have something to do with the 
sound card being accessed at the same time that the hard 
drive is being accessed.  There does not seem to be any IRQ conflicts.

Anyone have comments on this?

Thanks,

Tom
