I have big problems with 3550/SB live 5.1 (I tried also SB 4.1 value card) on WinXP 64bit SP3 system with half freezings when I don't use page file(page file disabled on the system level).

System half freezing means that if I use media players like MPC home center 32bit or 64bit and if I choose Direct sound kxwave sb0222 10k1 0/1 0x00200000 and in 30 plays(30 different loadings of multimedia files) one would stuck in half system freeze, which means that shell would be blocked beside mouse, which could be moved or even the mouse would be in half movement like 1 sec of move 1 sec of freeze, everything would be unresponsive.

Also even if playing of multimedia wouldn't stuck, there are little system freezes on the beginning of loading of multimedia files like from 0.3sec to 1.4sec of system freezings.

If I enable page file on the system, I would get rid of the half system freezing, but micro freezing on loading on multimedia files would be still present.

If I try to load multimedia files with realtek sound card or with nvidia sound card integrated on video card, there would be no problem.

I know that kx driver is abandoned and its with over 20000 bugs on 64bit systems but this is serious bug.

I'm looking at the kx manager settings and I'm questioning my self maybe some setting could help , like in "system compatibility" or in "driver compatibility", maybe even the ideal buffer settings (current 2048kb/4080bytes~4.25ms/32768bytes/8buffers/4096 samples).

I would really loved to stay with Live 5.1 and kxmixer I know that kx driver is the thing of the past and its abandoned and unusable on 64bit systems, but maybe someone would blink some idea.


Also I tried to use all of my PCI ports on Gigabyte p55aud4 v.1- bios latest f15.


Thanks on reading, I hope that people searching then Google would find about this bug which could help them to find out the culprit (kx driver for 64bit system).
