Everything related to sound crashes

[karl963]

Hello, so far I've had no problems with my sound untill i started playing Dota 2. After launcing the game my Windows crashes all the programs and windows ( volume control ) that are related to sound as i try to edit or change anything ( change volume etc ). And i hear no sound from anything, only after i restart the computer ( i then hear "ssssss" noise instead of nothing ).

So far i have found 2 solutions ( system restore, cut off power so windows won't save sound settings and power on again ) which do not solve anything, because the problem reoccurs after launching the game.

This really belongs in the gaming section. Although it affects sound, it is the game or a configuration in the game that is causing the problems.
