i had similar problem running 98 with my VERY old sound card. try to change the sound mode setting in elma. (compatible/best) or something.

When Elma starts, it loads the sound system once. If you minimize elma and starts another program that uses sound it "steals" the sound from elma.

However, there's no function in elma to "steal" the sound back, so elma will be mute.

So this is not an error, just lazy programming by Balazs...

about that stealing stuff, it happens only with small margin of hardware settings it seems, i haven't seen propably anyone else complaining that, so should i say, bad luck if it happens.

though, it's not necessarily a problem u cannot fix. i fixed it somehow when i had it.

I also have that problem, it can be a bit annoying, but not that much, cause I only use sound when I watch replays.

Hmm, that worked....But I dunno, the compatibility sound sucks IMO

I have a sound problem...
When I try to use sound, it only goes "Chhrr...chrr....chrr....chrr" instead of the actual sounds. Its kinda like the noise when you turn your TV onto channel 6 or summin

Its not hugely important, but if anyone has had this problem and can sort it, let me know.
Oh yeah, I have a very old sound card, thats probably the problem...

i used to b able to listen to other music with elma on but now i can no more =(. whenever i start elma and listen to music it mutes the music. (tried with winamp 2&3 and windows media player.) haven't tried compatibility though. and yep, elma looses sounds if i put it down and up..
