When i change an mp3 playing on a world in world settings, it has a
50:50 chance of screwing up my whole system and disabling sound until a
system restart >_<!

Its annoying, audio stops playing. When i test audio on players, they
seem to be playing but they stay stuck on 00:00. When i test system
sounds in control panel, the sounds seem to play forever (Example, the
button should go from play symbol, stop symbol and back 1 second when i
play the Astriek sound, but it stays at the stop symbol)

Its fixed after a restart, but im not going to that everytime

It seems like it started to happen after installing itunes, although i
can't see why it should screw up when i even never have itunes running
in a windows session

Last time, it came back all of a sudden but thats it, can't get it fixed
now =/
Why is it that AW seems to be causing this problem X_X

When your system randomly reboots, it's almost always a hardware problem rather than a software problem. I would check critical components such as the power supply, CPU, etc. If it's not onboard, perhaps the sound card itself is now going out of comission?

It may also be faulty drivers -- have you tried updating the drivers for your sound card?

Its not randomly restarting, i just said its fixed after a restart,
probably in wrong wording X_X

I'll reinstall WMP 10 and sound drivers like Strike suggested and see if
that does anything, if not i'll reinstall itunes and see if that does
anything

Hahaha love it, he hasn't got a clue and quotes tony m.. lol anyway naa most
of the time its drivers eg sound driver or graphics driver problems that
cause random reboots. I've never had to fix a problem like that by changing
hardware.

But if you read the post you see this is not the problem he is experiencing
this is AW's crap sound its never worked proper ever since they changed to
WMP sound.
