Just as an FYI, I mentioned Creative because they took over the OpenAL project from another developer as an open standards project. It's a cross platform driver, and you don't have to use a Creative brand card to use OpenAL. Also when I said Creative drivers are notorious for this, I wasn't necessarily picking on them as a company. The problem is that because Windows is designed to work with a gazillion different audio interface hardware possibilities, there are a lot of things that can go wrong with regards to gaming. If Microsoft went the way of Apple, and made their software runnable only on their own hardware, this sort of audio driver snafu would go largely away because it removes driver configuration differences as a potential source of issue. Sometimes Windows works itself out with regard to audio config issues with a few reboots, installs, etc. Sounds like this might be what happened for you. Glad its working now.
