no sound

[Billy]

Hi
when i moved to a cable internet survice
i had to put in a net card?

i was running windows 98 at the time
and i stoped getting sound.
or had to choose between sound or a printer
because of the i r q ? (not shure if it is irq or
somthing else ) so i went xp home and now i am getting no
sound at all i have a sound blaster 16 i went to the web
site and no driver update was avalable ?
