Right-click on the Speaker in task bar,check the properties and make sure that sound is turned up or not muted

Open the Control Panel,doule-click Sounds and Multimedia icon,check the properties are setup and the volume slider is not set to low.

Make certain you have the right set of drivers installed. My last motherboard came with about four separate driver sets on the same CD, and I had to kind of guess and check on which one was the right one, because all four showed good in device mgr,but only one actually gave me sound.

If the above suggestions do not resolve, I recommend either returning to 98 or upgrading to XP Pro. ME was truly a problematic platform, even moreso than anything else MS has released. Honestly, I used ME for a total of 1 week then dumped it for reasons including your issue! I tried all the steps noted above and then some. Even tried another sound card but still no sound.

Good luck!
