I would laugh if it weren't so sad, Karl. Now I'm almost terrified to
ask the question: What would lead you to conclude that software (in this
case, presumably, a sound card driver) couldn't freeze up the system?
Truly, I fear the answer.
Then do not read this. In general a software failure will not cause
F7 to freeze up. But hardware failures can cause this.
Software problems usually cause the program your using to complain
about a segmentation fault and quit. But the computer stays up and working.
Of course there are exceptions to any general rule.
