re: Question about 'Volume Control:There are no active mixer devices available Wednesday, July 26, 2006 at 7:38 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Boston Red (1 messages posted) Just wanted to say thanks too - the fix worked perfectly. I just wanted to add that I think my problem was cause by me running a DOS version of the game Settlers II - it always reports some sort of audio conflict when I start it up, and I guess this is what 'stopped' the service. I was pulling my hair out as iTunes wasn't working...so thanks! On Thursday, December 8, 2005 at 9:20 pm, number41writer wrote: >I had this problem as well.
