Hello,

I recently updated my C-Media sound driver because when running certain games my system crashed an I got the blue-screen with the sound driver ("cmuda.sys") name on it. After this I noticed that at every boot the "Event Viewer" shows a "redbook" with the information below:

Event Type: Information

Hello and Welcome to PCHF

Where did you get the update for your sound card?

I'm not too sure whether its a faulty card or bad driver, could you try download and install the driver from here:
