Ableton Forum

Hey,
I've just had to reformat and reinstall my xp laptop and now for some reason with ableton reinstalled its making a loud noise all the time! I'm using the Sigmatel C-major HD sound card right now and yes, the drivers are installed.
Its not latency or anything and for some reason its not even being controlled by the volume controls its more of an internal speaker,
I'd really appreciate some help guys!

Ok, looks like I should have waited.
It turns out I did'nt have an up to date version of Directx (which I thought was just a visual thing) installed!
