Dawn,
Not sure if this will be fruitful or not, but, get a copy (free) of
Belarc Advisor or Everest and take a close look at the details of your
machine. Also, please provide the NG with your brand, model and details and
any additional equipment (sound related) that you may have added, as well
as, software. My thoughts (for what that is worth) is either a hardware or
software conflict. Belarc or Everest should provide an insight to your
equipment and software. When did this problem start and did you do anything
to the system just prior, that you can recall. Please provide any info
regarding your sound, i.e. seperate sound card (don't think you have), and
sound apps.
When in Sounds and Audio in Control Panel, are you able to 'play' any of
the system sounds?? Have you been to the system's website and looked for
updated sound drivers? Do you have a microphone and can you get sound to
the speakers from it??
Heirloom, old and so many questions

Hello. Just wanted to let you both know, I tried both your suggestions,
and
neither worked. I also typed "dxdiag" in the run registry and everything
was
listed with "no problem". HAH!! Anyway, my 2 sound devices listed are
Wave
Device for voice, and C-Media WDM Audio device, which is the one that says
"Driver is enabled but inactive due to an unknown problem." Thanks for
taking
the time to help me. I really appreciate it. Dawn.

Reboot to Safe Mode
Open Device Manager
Remove ALL Sound &Multimedia devices
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch - if present
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall the required drivers,
hopefully curing your problem.

Hi. I posted previously about this and I'm still without sound on my
pc.
In
the control panel/Sounds and Multimedia Properties/Devices
it says that the driver for my audio for C-media is "Enabled, but
inactive
due to an unknown problem"
Any ideas of what I can try to do to remedy this. System Restore doesnt
bring it back, as I had a prior problem with that program, but thanks
to
the
people on this website, it is up and running again. Thanks for any help
you
guys can give me.
