Blue screen error from cmudaxp.sys

If you got a BSOD while playing a video file and the blue screen said:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

cmudaxp.sys

it might be the audio C-Media driver that's the culprit.

I've found a simple workaround for this issue. What I did was install AC3 Filter version 1.46. Also, I've read the only settings that work are 2.0 and 5.1. There seems to be a problem with a certain version of the C-Media driver. Unfortunately, since I own an Auzentech X-Meridian card and they haven't updated their driver, I cannot update to the latest C-Media driver.

Still, here's a simple workaround for the cmudaxp.sys error. Hope it works for you!

Blah, blah, blah
