Thanks goodfella. As suspected, WDM-KS doesn't play nice with one of my soundcard's drivers. It certainly seems that is the case. Could you post the "Audio Device info" from Audacity (In the Audacity Help menu) so that we can see if there is a common factor there with the other cases where...

Should I try an earlier version? Audacity 2.0.3 is available here: http://code.google.com/p/audacity/downloads/detail?name=audacity-win-2.0.3.exe&can=1&q=2.0.3 You should view using 2.0.3 as a temporary measure. It seems to affect only a few XP machines, which makes it difficult to track do...
