Hello

I have following problem: After a incoming or outgoing call with Skype
or after a incoming call attempt something is wrong with my sound
driver. However, I have no idea what component actually causes the trouble.

The problem is that after the mentioned event the sound works most of
the time, then all of a sudden the sound starts to crunsh really badly.
the only way to stop it temporarily is to set the sound to mute, wait
some time and turn the sound on again. After some seconds the crunshing
sound starts again. The only way to stop it is to reboot windows which
only works until the next call ...

So, does anybody have an idea how i can identify the cause of this
problem? i couldn't find anything useful with google. any help is
appreciated!

TIA
