When my dad (and 5-year-old half brother) use VMK now, the only sound that comes through is the sound effects and game interface, while the majority of the room music comes only through the subwoofer. He just installed a new (Creative Xfi?) sound driver and the problem started after it. The problem only occurs in VMK. Not even in other Shockwave programs. They do use VMK Pal, but I don't know how that would affect anything (thinking that it is just a "skin" for IE). ANyone else having/had this problem? Anyone have a solution? Let me know: any help is appreciated.

Hmm... As dumb as this sounds, did you clear your cookies?
