I have a problem with playing audio on windows 8.
After some time when I turn on my pc and listen to a music and set playback on pause and turn it on after ~5 min then sound stops playing. It can be youtube flash player, foobar2000 or VLC player whatever.
But if I restart my windows-audio services by command line commands:
net stop "Audiosrv"
net stop "AudioEndpointBuilder"
net start "AudioEndpointBuilder"
net start "Audiosrv"
then the audio starts playing again normally.
I have a Reaper DAW installed and it plays sound normally (via ASIO driver) even the sound is dissapeared in other programs which are using windows audio.
Also, if I use "Line 1/2 (M-Audio Delta AP 192)" playback audio device in foobar2000 and sound dissapeared and I switch playback audio device to "S/PDIF (M-Audio Delta AP 192)" then the sound starts playing again normally in foobar2000 via this new selected device "S/PDIF (M-Audio Delta AP 192)".
I have:
Windows 8 professional x64
Sound card: m-audio audiophile 192 (driver: Delta Series Driver 6.0.8 (latest))
Bios have the latest firmware.
