I'm not really sure how you could call this but when i'm playing my screen freezes and the sound gets stuck on whatever i'm doing at the time. Sometimes the sound does a mini freeze but the screen doesn't do it. It's only the sound. Eventually, the sound freezes and screen follows. I cannot do anything after that. Need to reboot completely. Only thing I can think of that was different is the latest windows update I installed. Since then I think my problems started. I did a system restore to a previous date that I know my system was working fine but it didn't fix my problem. So here is my Dxdiag and I hope somebody can see something I need to update or change to fix this. Don't know if you need more than this. I just followed advice from another thread trying to find the solution to my problem. Tks
