    Hey all,
    I was getting a blue screen and i thought it was a video card/bios error but it turned out being a audio driver error. I updated the driver from the CD which came with the computer but for some reason it was still doing it so I found the most up to date and im still having the error happen sometimes when i play WC3.
    I was wondering if you guys had a fix to this error.
    Thanks

    Edit:
    I have a D900C with the realtek HD drivers.

    I assume you got the latest drivers from realtek site? If so, it is not uncommon for drivers to be slightly buggy after they have just been released.

    Try this: Start > Control Panel > sounds and audio devices > choose the AUDIO tab, then click the ADVANCED button under PLAYBACK, then go to the PERFORMANCE tab.

    Move the hardware acceleration one notch to the left.

    See if the issue repeats

    Thanks gerryf19 your trick worked perfectly :)

    A small note, i think it also works if you disable 3D audio from the game.
