Media Player intereference on Windows and Ubuntu

[Sethybaby]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hello,

I have a 1 year old HP Pavilion, Never had any major problems, it's well protected and Virus/Spyware free. I was running Windows Vista for the first 10-11 months till a problem occurred. My iTunes one day stopped playing music.. The sound was working on my pc, and websites and such were able to play their media but iTunes and Windows Media Player both had the same problem. I'd push play and the slider that shows the position in the song wouldn't move. I uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, retried all of my media players to no avail. So, I Dual booted my pc with Linux... and all my media players still do this intermittently.. I've narrowed it down to something involving FireFox. Here's what I've found, If I have a media player open and running, I can open firefox, surf, pause my media player then listen to music online. However If I try to open a media player while firefox is playing audio (embedded media or such) the media player, weather it be iTune, Windows Media Player, Amarok, or RhythmBox won't play any files. I'll push play and the slider never moves and no audio come out the speaker form the program. It seems there's some sort of interference from FireFox. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,
