I have verified that it happens with both a PS/2 and a USB mouse. When I run Audacity (sound recording software) and click the “record” button, the mouse immediately and mysteriously locks up. No other keyboard input is accepted either and I am forced to do a cold reboot.
At one point the mouse even locked up when I pulled the audio cord from the sound card and reinserted it. What’s going on? This may not even be a mouse issue. Maybe the entire system becomes unstable as a result of using soundcard software? What’s the solution?
