one of these\or more one , programs messed up the system audio on W_10
luckely i had a W_10 manual restore point from a few days ago .
The audio sub-system restored ok. i guess i won't be trying any
of these that don't work , anymore . Cain't say for sure which one
did it .
The last ones i tried were G-police , Dracula 3 , and Return to Castle Wolfenstein .
Ultima IX had trouble finding system devices( video and audio on the W_10 ) .

W_10 is mostly compatable with newer-stuff only .

And then There Were None

Dracula 3 ( the path of the dragon )
W_8.1 Yes
W_10 kind of , screen flickers , un-playable

an indicator of the drift of compatability
from XP to W_7 to W_10
W_7 runs everything.
W_8.1 runs almost , everything
W_10 , not so much .
Based on that ,
W_7 is the best .
W_10 is the worst ( reminds me of a sausage ) .

audio on SPDIF ( optical ) as MPEG 2.0
No Dolby yet , Creative has begun releasing DDL
Dolby Digital Live updates , SB 1095 not ready yet .


if your W_7.x machine runs everything , and you want it to stay
that way , then "Don't do anything" . W_7 here is staying as W_7 .

if your W_8.x machine runs everything , and you want it to stay
that way , then "Don't do anything" .
