Uninstall sound card.
Try moving sound card to other available PCI slot, then install sound card.

Try removing other PCI cards that are not needed.
If sound works. Add back PCI cards one at a time.
Swap slots if problems arise.

Good LuckRichard Bolha

Is it an ISA sound/modem combo? I've worked on plenty of those units. Win95/98 would install partial sound drivers. Is it an MWave sound chip on the combo card? I know, lots of questions. Try going through the Add New Hardware wizard to see if it will detect any other sound devices. If that doesn't work, you may have to force the drivers (if you have the original sound drivers from the sound chip manufacturer)via Add New Hardware, other devices, Have Disk option. The next step would be to, shut down, take the cover off and physically remove the combo card from the system. Then, do a FORMAT on the hard drive and reinstall Win98 clean. Be sure to back up data first. You're gonna have to "play" with it to make it work. Good luck, been there,
