I loose sound, why?

Check to make sure your sound card is listed on the Hardware Compatablity List for Windows ME.
Make sure you have the correct drivers for the sound card.

If so Locate the card in "Device Manager" and select it, click properties, update driver and load the new driver. Follow instructions and your machine should run ok.
Hope this helps.

Hi hpusilli,
When you installed WinME, it did not put in (or didn't have on it) the drivers for your sound card. If you have the original disk with the drivers for the card, you can use it
to temporarily get it working.
1. To do this, hold the "Alt" key and double click "My Computer". Go into the Device Manager and remove any sound cards or unknown devices. You can, then, go into Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add New Hardware and let the system detect the sound card. When it asks for the driver source, direct it (Browse) to the disk with the driver.
2. If you don't have the driver disk, this process may give you the Sound Card I.D. and the maker. In that case, cancel out of the installation and go to one of the following places for the driver.
www.windrivers.com (top left corner of the page Advanced Drivers) or www.driversguide.com (login- drivers, password- all) both are great resurces for finding drivers.
3. If neither of these work, your last option is to open the caseand look at the sound card and get a an I.D. from the card itself. Look for a letter/number combination that is either painted or etched onto the card and is larger than the other print on the board. Once found go to the sites mentioned above and search for that I.D. number.
4. If none of this works, you'll probably need a new sound card.
5. Windrivers has a search engine setup on the top right of the page. Use that to find the maker of the card then do the Advanced Driver in the left column. As for driversguide, click on the "login" and put in the I.D. and password, then follow the instructions from there. They are both very easy.
I wish you well.
