Please test the latest developer snapshot. It contains a fix which is supposed to fix the problem. It looks like there's a bug in the winmm DLL, at least in older versions. I found a workaround which shouldn't work, but it does. If you're interested in the technical details, see the thread starting here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2011-02/msg00007.html If it works for you, and still works for others, I'll release 1.7.8 ASAP.
