Freaky Sound Issue
An individual has a PC that the sound does not work. If
the sound card is removed from Device Manager, the system sees the card and reinstalls...no problem there. What makes this freaky is that even though the sound card is detected and shows up as working normally in Device Manager, the default device options (Control Panel, Sounds and Audio, Audio Tab) are greyed out. There is no way for me change it. Soooo...where is the registry key(s) that I need to fix. This has to be something fairly simple...I just can't find it. Thanks! |

Freaky Sound Issue
Heath
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. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Heath" wrote in message ...
