> Hi again, I haven't been able to get back the sound to wmp and now I have
lost the volume control down by the clock, Anyone know where it is that says
"Show icon in taskbar"? I have looked all over and even reinstalled windows
98, Can't find it anywhere.
Mentioned this a couple of times recently, but experience has taught me that
when sound problems occur, the first thing to check is your ASPI layers. Do
a google search for a file called 'Force ASPI'. In this file is a program
called ASPICHK, which will tell you what the ASPI layer is on your PC, and a
little program which will install a copy of ASPI 4.6 that will work with any
combination of software/hardware, overwriting whatever you have on your
system. I came across this problem when installing several different types
of CD-r writing software, and the 'Force ASPI' has never failed to solve the
problem.
If you've re-installed Windows, then go to Control Panel/Sounds & Multimedia
and there is a little tick box that is probably unticked that says 'Show
Volume Control Icon In Taskbar' (or something similar).tick that and you
should get your volume control back..
If you still aren't getting any sound at all, you may need to re-install
your soundcard drivers. Also, it goes without saying to make sure the volume
controller for whatever you are using is not muted and is turned up-and yes,
I have made that mistake myself-only realising after several hours of
swearing and hair pulling!!!
