Mouse v Soundcard conflicts... i think

[Babylon]

I've noticed some problems with my mouse and keyboard complete freezing, and they always do it at the same time it happens too. Not just the mouse, not just the

keyboard on it's own. Both!

But now, i'm 95% sure that my mouse (possiblity keyboard too) and sound card are having arguments!

I got the most up to date sounds card driver today, and then was listening to music later on, from a CDR and noticed the thing keeps jumping. Thought it was my drives

but then i've been running games off them, no problems. And i noticed both drivers were jumping.

But, on futher research, if i'm on a webpage for example and use the scroll mouse i here like cracles from the Speakers.

I've copied a CD from drive to drive and it works fine so that's why i'm so confident it's not them as well!

Please help! I've gone to the system device manager and as always it claims all is well in the world and it certainly isn't


Microsoft Intellimouse, latest drivers installed
Microsoft Internet Keyboard, latest drivers
CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device

THe only other thing i can think of is a modem conflict, but problems are both online and off.

New Info: When i look at the start menu, and open a subfolder from it, you get the same sort of crackle/split second of music returning.

Pressing keyboard keys seems to trigger off an evil too. Not entirely sure about it all though

More new info: When i tried pasting something from notepad to this window (i'd saved my message after restarting and trying somethin to sort problem, which didn't work) it put line breaks in weird places, although i'm not sure if it's related

Very relevent: Problem does not appear if i am playing music from my HD, only the CD drives and it affects either of the two drives.

But like i said, 100% sure they are fine. I've had no problems with copying cds like from DVD driver to CD-R, playing games, installing things from CD, etc.

Is playback from CD different than from wave mapper used when the files are on the PC?

Edit:
Tried doing a driver roll back, problem not sorted

New Edit:
Sorry for so many, happens for both bought CDs, and CD-R CDs that i've *cough* got copies of.

so your cd drives cause your mouse/keyboard to lock up when playing music but playing games or other non-audio use is fine?

Is that what I'm reading.....
