since some days my Directsound driver spontaneously happens to fail after listening to music or watching a movie.
what can be the reason for that ?
A reboot helps it.

Antivir is always running so i dont think its a virus


The following is pasted from an error window from Winamp, when i try to play music after the driver failed:

---------------------------
DirectSound output v2.4 (d) error
---------------------------
Bad DirectSound driver. Please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration.
Error code: 88780078
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

edit, funny useless info: the problems started to occur when i watched a movie with a friend of mine. she has broken our DVD player and two lighting bulbs within 3 days simply by using it.. but im looking for a more technical approach.
