Sound Issues

Hi everyone!

I have recently started having some sound problems with my computer. One day when I turned my computer on most of the programs that use sound (including windows) couldn't recognize my sound card. Oddly enough winamp was still able to detect it but nothing else could. I thought it may be a soundcard issue so I bought a new one but it has the same problems. In the Sound and Audio Devices section it has "no audio device" under the volume tab and under the audio tab the only devices that are listed for playback are modem #0 line playback and modem #1 line playback. However the soundcard is recognized under the hardware tab. The only program that regularly recognizes it is winamp, however every now and then it doesn't but all that requires is a restart of the program.

Also I have a PODxt (which is a guitar recording interface) that is connected via USB. When these issues began the recording programs stopped recognizing it as well. Further every time I turned off the pod while it was connected my computer would restart.

Any help would be much appreciated.
