When I try to play a movie (any file type, avi.. mkv.. whathaveyou) there is no sound what so ever. after 10-20 seconds, the video freezes, and if I try to press any buttons like pause or rewind, XBMC freezes completely. I've had XBMC for a while and it's always worked great until today. i uninstalled and reinstalled the 10.1 version, but no success. whats going on?

Windows 7 64 bit home premium
ATI radeon hd 5570

If the sound device is invalid it can cause the symptoms you're seeing. Check the sound settings. If the sound is using the audio/headphone socket on your PC check that the speakers/headphone are plugged in. Windows 7 will helpfully spot nothing is plugged in and disable the audio, breaking XBMC in the process.

Thanks, sound is through HDMI. I don't know what happened, but it seems to have fixed itself.
