Xpenetrator, I have tried all those as you had assumed and I have no sound at all, except the default beep. I do have conflicts Microsoft Kernel Acoustic Canceller (which at times shows twice, other times once) and with Microsoft Kernel GS Wavetable Synthesizer. I also show douplicates of Legacy Audio Drivers and Media Control Devices but no confilcts there. I am running onboard Realtek AC'97 Audio
Thanks for the reply and any and all suggestions
