I have checked everything possible to uninstalling, checking speakers, wires and still nothing... I play the windows media and it plays but no sound OP WinXP home mobo chaintech athlon 1.8 mem 512	perelini (4629)

182678	2003-10-12 20:28:00	Have you checked in the Device Manager that there's no Warning sign's next to your Sound? It may pay to visit Chaintech's website and get drivers off there if you downloaded them from elsewhere.... I know that the C-Media and/or AC '97 can be a real pain :-(	Chilling_Silently (228)

Sorry if this is stating the obvious and you have already done this, but sometimes it is the little things that catch you out :)	Jen C (20)

182681	2003-10-13 20:27:00	heh heh heh. went out to a job last week where they had no sounds whatsoever working on their pc,and it was due to them turning the volume down on winamp,which of course alters the volume of everything within windows. Almost felt bad giving them the bill.....almost.	metla (154)
