Problens with sound.
Just yesterday I turned on my machine, and noticed that
the Windows XP welcome music did not play. I went through the obvious things to try to correct the sound issue (volume knob on speakers, mute button on keyboard, speakers plugged in, etc.), but nothing worked. I started to explore within Control Panel:Sound and Audio Devices, and realized that within the entire dialog box and all tabs, I had no options available to adjust or select. Under the Volume tab, next to the speaker icon, it reads "no audio device". I do have a sound card installed (Sound Blaster Live!) and have been using it for about two years. Here is what I have done as far as trouble shooting efforts seperate from what I mentioned befo 1) Tried to "Adding Hardware" under control panel, but it found the SB Live card and indicated the device was working properly. 2) Removed the sound card from machine, changed BIOS settings to use onboard sound and game controllers. No luck. The machine is a home built computer that has been running flawlessly for about two years now. I recently installed a wireless LAN, and this computer acts as the server. But the sound issue arose nearly ten days after installation, and sound has been present after the installation. Any Ideas on fixes or diagnostic procedures I can employ to solve this mystery? Ron |

I am having the same problem, same sound card and
everything, however that website did not help any. Could you provide any more direction? -----Original Message----- /Ron/ said: Just yesterday I turned on my machine, and noticed that the Windows XP welcome music did not play.

Did you download the update for 'Creative Sound Labs' from the Windows
update site? Fixed it for me. -- Ed H Dell Dimension 4550, WinXP Home SP2 60 Gig. HD, 512 DDR, Pentium IV 2.40 GHz. "Jason" wrote in message ...
