It really depends on what those messages are. My guess is that your sound card drivers may be corrupted, and you need to remove them, reboot your computer, and reinstall them when prompted. But then again, it could be a number of different things. The simplest way to solve your problem is to do the following:
(1) Take note of the error messages you're getting.
(2) Go to www.google.com
(3) Type in the error message.
(4) Click on search.
(5) See what you come up with, and click on a link that sounds
relative to the peoblem you may be experiencing.
(6) Follow advice that pertains to your specific problem.
(7) Consult your owner's manual for further instructions.
Of course, if you're using any version of Windows, you have a built-in help and support section embedded in your operating system. Just type in "sound troubleshooter", and press the enter key on your keyboard. Or simply consult your sound card's owner's manual. Just remember: You can always use www.google.com, to look up error messages, and find a solution.
Good luck!

Elaborate, what error message. What sound card do you have. Try updating, or re-installing the driver for your soundcard.

re-boot computer with the start up disks. There may be a virus or something clogging the computer
