no sound

I am having problems with I'm guessing, my sound card.
I previously had windows 98. I upgraded to windows me and
love it but, I now have no sound at all. I can hear my
modem dialing up to connect but that is as far as the
sound goes. I have a sigmatel sound card and have visited
their web site and can not find any help. I tried updating
drivers and received a message that I currently have the
most up to date driver for this device. I booted up in
safe mode and uninstalled the sigmatel card and restarted
my computer and went through the wizard and reinstalled
the device. I uninstalled a second time and checked the
box to load a older file for the device reasoning that
maybe something critical for the device to work was on a
older file. Still no sound. My computer shows my sound
card to be working correctly with no conflicts. Could the
problem be something different? I checked my speakers and
the volume on the computer. I even checked my wall
receptacle. Please help me!!!!!!
Thanks,
Lisa

Lisa, Okay just wanted to let you know I posted my reply
to you under "new post" instead of "reply to post", sorry
it is under Not Much Help. DUH! Sory, Gypsy

Gypsy!
Thank you for your post regarding my problem. I tried your
suggestion and like you I had no luck!!! I am so
frustrated by this problem. I also am disappointed in the
lack of response to my post.If not for you I would still
have a zero response.So thank you for taking the time to
try to help.At least I know someone read it!At least with
my problem it may be that everyone is as baffled as I am
the reason I have had no response!
Thanks again,
Lisa

Dear Lisa, You are so welcome, but I am sorry that nothing
I suggested worked, as I said I am far from an expert. But
I am relenless when it comes to finding the solutions to
my porblems in spite of my lack of knowledge. We can't all
be experts!
Here is another thing I tryed and it at least gave me the
proper info about my pc. Try downloading this tool, it's
free. http://belarc.com/free_download.html

As I said I am no expert, but I did manage to get mine
working. I hate giving you this advice on this site. I
feel like these guys don't take women as seriously as men.
If you would like to communicate with me any further I
would prefer not to do it on here. If they don't feel like
helping then our conversations are none of their business.
You can rach me at I will be
glad to share some other ideas that might work. Obviously
they aren't going to acknowledge this post. I put my ral
emai cause no one reads it anyway I guess. LOL
So feel free to contact me. Peace, Love, and Light, Gypsy

I am having a similar problem. I did a clean install of ME
and everything works except the sound. I've updated
drivers, checked for conflicts and deactivated other
components just in case. The strangest part is that I have
no volume control in windows. I don't mean that it's not
present on the computer, but that it does nothing when I
try to open it. The volume control in the control panel is
locked in the minimum position and is dimmed so that it
can't be adjusted. If anyone else has had this problem or
has fixed this problem, please email me.

Thanks

try this
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.
