That's not VDMSound. In any case, it won't affect how things work on your machine.

Did you happen to upgrade to DirectX 9?

Well, VDMSound is the only install I've done lately. And the change occured right after I had installed it. On the other hand, VDMSound wouldn't add anything in Swedish, would it?

So you mean that the only change that is made, is to edit the registry and add "[Emulerad]" to the names of all sound sources?

So basically I could change back manually by editing in the registry?

Ok, I'm running DirectX 8.1

Well, then it's not DirectX. Since CuBase is a Windows title it should use Windows default sound device. You might check your "Control Panel" under "Sounds and Audio Devices". You should check to see if your default sound device has been changed to "Emulated". If so, you should try to change it back.

Erh, I'm missing what exactly we're trying to fix here.

From the sound of it, either his Cubase program wigged-out on not properly identifying his soundcard or that something's gone wrong with his soundcard drivers (I asked about DX9 on the possibility that his sound hardware wasn't "DX9-compliant").

Retry, Reboot, Reinstall.
If there is a problem insofar that Cubase can't find the hardware, check Cubase's settings.
I mean, this box (laptop) says "Emulated" by most things so I'm not quite sure.

The problem is that after installing VDMSound my sound sources (M-audio Audiphile 24/96 and Soundblaster Live!) now have the suffix "[Emulerad]" after them (Emulerad=Emulated in Swedish, I run the Swedich version of XP).

Doesn't sound much like anything more than an "oh no something changed" reaction.

Yes, there is now way VDMSound could have done what you experienced. VDMSound does not touch any drivers or any driver-related entries in the registry.
