Is there a webpage that shows the latest available Wavepad release version for Windows?. Similarly is there a webpage showing what the latest release version is for other NCH products?

The lastest version of Soundtap (V3.00) resolves this problem I have found. No more 100% cpu utilization. Thank you NCH!

Thank you Chris.

I just googled this problem and found a user experiencing this same problem with stdriverx86.sys on Windows 7 back in Oct 2014:

Does that mean the developers don't consider this much of a priority?

Forgive me if this has come up before. I searched for an answer on the forum but didn't see any.

Running Windows 7 and Soundtap V2.31.

Whenever I play a sound my cpu goes to 100% busy due to stdriverx86.sys driver. So, when I play a song from Windows Media Player, or iTunes or Youtube the cpu goes to 100% busy. As soon as I close down the program that was playing the music then cpu utilization goes back to normal.

I've deinstalled Soundtap and reinstalled to no avail. When I deinstall the driver does get removed.

Any help would be appreciated
