Yet another person with sound problems ...

Expand Post »

Hi,

I'm running W98SE & I've got sound problems.

The strange thing is that the soundcard & speakers work, because I can play a CD through the CD-ROM and get the sound ok.

But anything running under Windows (MediaPlayer for example) doesn't work.

I don't even get the POST sound, even though the computer boots into Windows successfully.

Nothing highlighted in Device Manager. Tried all the usual stuff. Even re-installed W98, though not a clean install.

Anyone got any ideas ? TIA

Re: Yet another person with sound problems ...

try reinstalling the windows media player you could have a missing or corrupted file.
how many other media players do you have installed on your system?
example: ace media player, real player, winamp player, Sono Digital Media Player etc.

Re: Yet another person with sound problems ...

double click on your speaker at bottom right to get full volume controls. check all volume adjustments. Or try installing a new desktop theme or something. themeworld.com has plenty of themes with kewl sounds

might also want to try installing winamp, or qcd or another media player
