windows fails to detect sound card by Damon
After a reinstallation of Windows 98, I can't get the sound to work. I'm pretty sure it isn't a hardware specific issue; all the speakers seemed to be hooked up correctly. But my sound card simply doesn't show up in the Control Panel under the Add New Hardware section. I've tried installing...
