With my volume turned all the way up the audio uot is very low. I use Music match almost exclusively to listen to cd's and mpeg attachments, but the problem also exists on media player. The problem seems to have ocurred when I installed "Microsoft Plus". I installed mainly for it's screen savers but there is an portion that deals with sound quality. I've never done anything with these sound settings, I'm tempted to uninstall microsoft plus but don't want to do it before consulting with you. Thank you very Much; Angell de la Sierra jr

Yes definately sounds like conflict from Microsoft Plus. First try and set Plus to provide maximum audio levels out then check that it didn't set windows volume/mixer control to mute or minimum.

Had similr problem when I installed realplayer, it arbitrarily set my sound output level to mute and minimum volume and then worked fine when i opened the volume control and set it again.

Look at the volume that is set in windows, if it does not help, try downloading the latest drivers for the video card. MS+ may be causing a problem, but it may just need driver updates. If this does not work, try windowsupdate and if that does not work, then lose MS+
