Hi Umwhat,
That's great news! I'm glad we've got that working for you again.

| . Now that geniusnet has updated their website I have the latest drivers and
| no problem in the Age of Empires Gold .
| Thankyou

|| I did a clean boot and played AoE Gold the Conquerers and the sound still
|| skips . I think I'm using the C-Media sound drivers and I looked at them in
|| the sound settings and looked at the roll back drivers and there are no
|| drivers to rool back to . I suppose that could be because I did the clean
|| boot .
|| While I have this window open I looked in Add and Remove programs list and
|| there was , PCI Audio Device , but thee was no size . I selected to change or
|| remove and a window showed reading that the audio driver was removed and
|| gave the options to restart , start later or something else and i just closed
|| the window by clicking the X . C Media devices are listed in the sound
|| properties so now I'll check to be sure the C Media drivers are still there .

||| Hi Umwhat,

||| Actually, I was suggesting that you roll back your sound drivers.
||| Put them back to the version that was working with that game.
