   Hi all,

   The Wondershare Music Converter messed up my PC's sound drivers today. I know this for sure because the problem was resolved when Revo Uninstaller removed the program.

   I actually noticed the Wondershare "setup.exe" file installing drivers today on my PC, and I thought this was odd, as no other media-converter program ever did that before, and I wondered why this was happening, but I never thought it would mess up my system to such an extent (my PC's sound was totally wiped out, thanks to Wondershare.)

   Anyway, I'm sharing with you what happened to me today, in case you experience the same thing. If you do, simply uninstall the program using Revo Uninstaller, and choose the "Advanced Option" so that Revo completely removes all leftover registry entries for the Wondershare program.

   I hope this information is helpful to those of you who are in a similar situation as me.

   Best,
   Inas

   Dear Inas,

   Thanks for the warning

   I was hesitant about this software and now have decided not to install it.

   Best regards

   My sound drivers still work fine. The driver is for getting around the DRM on certain files. My last experience with such drivers had resulted with programs using DirectSound no outputting to sound card. Uninstalling the program/driver solved the problem.

   Happy,
   Wondershare Music Converter did not really mess up your system.
   But I remember the WsAudio_deviceS driver set itself as a default when using XP.
   If you go to the sound options you should have an option to choose your default playback device again,if necessary.But yep,I agree it's confusing.
   ...On Windows 7 you even have an option to choose 'all devices are playing sound'.
   (not sure about Vista)

   However, if for some reason you didn't have that option,uninstalling the WsAudio_deviceS driver (or the program) was the right thing to do.

   I always run a sys tracker before installing any app. When I uninstalled this one, it showed that several files were still over written in system32 and drivers dirs. No problem though, reinstalled them from a backup to the originals.
