Suzanne,
Mismatch drivers are a very common occurrence. Most commonly this =
occurs
when using hardware that is not 100% "Sound blaster compatible". This =
can
particularly be the case when dealing with sound cards that are based =
off of
the ESS chipset. These cards do offer sound blaster functionality and =
for
the most part will work with generic sound blaster compatible drivers,
however in many instances these card will not handle properly playing =
back
compressed audio. The thing to keep in mind here is not all WAV files =
are
compressed many wav files are simply PCM uncompressed audio. These =
files
will often play back even in situations when the drivers and hardware =
are
mismatched. In most cases creating and saving a file using sound =
recorder
using the same codecs and sampling rates as the ASF file can help you
determine if this is indeed the problem.

Thanks
