Not sure if it may or may not be an audio driver problem. The driver is a
Realtek High Definition Audio driver.
The problem is not so much in shutting down the player as it is a problem
when the user is switched out using fast-user-switching. When switching to
a different user, the audio for the previous user is not suspended. This is
very annoying, especially if the switched out user has a password on it. I
have to log on as an admin and then kill that user session in order for
audio on that user to stop. There has to be a better way.
