thanks for all of your help on sound not working. It "sounds" like I may have to bide my time to get my brother to check the card physically for me. I will let you all know if that was the problem when I can get him to look at it. I feel it may be something more simple than that and I am just not finding it.. I have done "dumb" things before like not plugging something in right etc... I know that everything looks right on my settings. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <sirtroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, March 01, 2005 8:28 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: sound not working > Here's another thing, if it's the card or lot that is... open the system, > physically remove the card, then start the computer and uninstall it in > DEVICE MANAGER.
