WMC -garbled audio = HELP

About a week ago..after seven mos of perfect playback...WMC would all of a sudden freeze during playback of live TV. Would have to close it and restart.

Now...
If it starts OK..the audio playback is gibberish. Nothing has changed as far as settings go. Worked last nite..now it's gibberish audio. Other audio playback from PC, like iTunes, is fine.

Now, what can I do here?

Re: WMC -garbled audio = HELP

and how would I do that? how would I replace them?
PS- a reboot corrected the gibberish problem. I would still like to make it so it didn't FREEZE anymore.

would a reinstall over current program from the source install CD help?

Re: WMC -garbled audio = HELP

Drivers are usually never going to be in add / remove - you'll need to go to Device Manager to remove drivers.

Click the Start button and then in the search bar type device - you should see it pop in at the top of the list.

Re: WMC -garbled audio = HELP

Umm, why would you want to remove MCE? If it is only happening on Live TV I'd check your TV tuner first as it interfaces between your cable and your computer - MCE has nothing to do with that, it just displays what it gets from the tuner.

MCE? Do you mean WMC, Windows Media Center? I just want the freezing of the player to stop. The garbled audio has disappeared since I rebooted.

Re: WMC -garbled audio = HELP

Media Center Edition - the old acronym for Media Center. Sorry, old habits die hard.

So, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling your TV tuner drivers?
