Latest version is bugged, sound does not work.

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Windows XP, Version 0.4.12, popping sounds when first installed (Or when LMMS windows user folder config folder is deleted) and then resorts to the Dummy Audio Plugin afterwards. Trying to compile from source but can't overcome the weird libsndfile problem
Problem seemed to be related to an incorrect identification of my motherboard's sound device. When I disconnected some USB speakers from the computer and reinstalled the latest version of LMMS it worked. Where previously LMMS wouldn't even save its settings on exit, once I disconnected my USB speakers it regained the ability to save its settings. What an odd reaction.
