Make sure the top entry under default device is on the soundcard . You havent got something like a voice modem installed have you??

If u have, it may show as Modem #0 Line Playback under default device .

And this is what it maybe on . If you're on dialup, and it says its in use .

www.unitycorp.co.jp

On page 57, there is information in the BIOS setup about enabling/disabling the Onboard PCI Audio Controller. It should be enabled by default, but then again it may have been disabled?

426042 2006-02-03 00:16:00 Thanks to both Speedy Gonzales & Terry Porritt for all your help.

Yippee - we got it to work.

Yes, the default setting was on Modem #0 Line Playback instead of the soundcard. It might set to this immediately during setup so that it can dial out for updates and registration. Whatever the reason it was a good lesson to learn for me. Next time I load up xp and I've got no sound I'll know where to look.

After all my mucking around I did find a setting in the BIOS for the onboard Audio - I made sure it was enabled.

Again, thanks heaps guys. Keep up the good work.
