JohnD Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Even though your sound drivers appear to be functioning properly, I would try Joe C's advice. Uninstall them, then reboot and let windows reinstall them. Link to post Share on other sites
Froggiez Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 Would that be the SoundMax Integrated Digtal Audio that I would uninstall?

Joe C Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 If you had problems getting on line and your on a dial up modem, often times there's a sound driver associated with the modem and it maynot be installed Link to post Share on other sites
Froggiez Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 I had to go into my Services and restart my Remote Acess and change the Plug & Play to auto it was disabled.

Joe C Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) If someone was messing around with the windows services, then check this service guide to get your settings back where they should be, I wouldn't think remote access outta be enabled http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm edit: should be "manual" as per that elder geek site Edited December 24, 2005 by Joe C Link to post Share on other sites
Froggiez Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 I did enable it...I had to so I could get connected to the internet....but now the volume is gone...I get this complete message: There are no active miver devices available. To install mixer device, go to Control Panel, click printers and other hardware, and then add hardware. However my pc doesn't show Printers and Other Hardware, it just shows Printers & Fax If someone was messing around with the windows services, then check this service guide to get your settings back where they should be, I wouldn't think remote access outta be enabled http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm Link to post Share on other sites

Joe C Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 (edited) I really don't know what sound card you have or if it's on board sound..... a pit test might help EDIT: if that's what you have listed in the device manager, then it's most likely what you have, do you have a driver disk or the driver on a file?

Froggiez Posted December 24, 2005 Author Share Posted December 24, 2005 I don't have a disk....I will run a test after I finish checking all these services off...
