262028 2004-08-15 11:57:00 Right, I'm currently mucking with my friend's old laptop, which is an old compaq armada running with an ESS1878 audiodrive sound card.

Bascially, the sound will not go.....every time I try to play a sound file, there is an error saying that the sound card is in use, yet I cannot figure out what is using the sound card.

I have tried reinstalling the sound card drivers, but the problem still seems to remain...

Any ideas?

262030 2004-08-15 20:56:00 have you tried removing the device from device manager and then letting it install itself again? falvrez (390)
