Can I run windows media player without a pci-sound card?

by madoukz . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I am running windows server2003 on a hp proliant ml 150 g5 with windows update fully up to date. But if I try to open a sound file windows media player says: …there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed…

My machine does not have an external sound card and I can’t see if the motherboard has an integrated sound card. Can I then install any sound card driver or is there one specific for this machine. I have another server2003 machine that has been previously running media player just fine even though it has no pci-sound card. However since I formatted that machine, it also cannot run windows media player…
