Faustus,
Thanks for your reply. Cajun has been helping me with this problem off list
and it seems that this problem is more common than you would think. The
sound comes and goes as it pleases.. it's a bit of a lottery.. now you have
it , now you don't. As far as me plonking anything anywhere. he he he . I
won't touch the gizzards on this thing........ pure terror. I will leave
that to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks for your input,
Regards , Lyn

Hi, Lyn,
Unless I missed a post or two, I don't think you ever really detailed
the process of how your re-installed your drivers, or (critically) if
you removed the old driver beforehand. It sounds as though either a
conflict between the sound card and something else is taking place
(possibly even the old sound card driver) or a driver for the wrong
model was installed.
Regardless, if the thing is giving you this much trouble, you should
just consider buying a proper sound card. On-board systems are cheap,
nasty, and (as you've discovered) finicky to install.
Disable all existing sound card drivers in Device Manager, pop round
to a PC store and buy a new one, then plonk it in a free PCI slot on
your mainboard and Bob's your mother's brother. No more "CMediahell".
You probably won't need a top-quality card and there are some very
reasonably-priced options out there, but as always, the more you
spend, the fewer headaches you get...
