After intalling Windows Me my sound is not working. Sound card is installed and in the status shows that the device is working properly. When I try to test Sound Hardware test wizard it stop responding for few moments and then come to microphone test page and give only setting option for microphone and not for speaker. Microphone is working poroperly. When I work with volume control setting I can hear sound for speaker but when I run any song or any sound file it does not give any sound output.How I can come over this. Please direct if any one has any idea.
Thanks

I have ran across something that sounds similar to your situation with a SB-AWE64
if I remember right.
It turned out to be an IRQ conflict, to fix
it check the IRQ of the sound card and exclude the IRQ in your PC's setup by
changing the setting for that IRQ to be reserved for ISA card, so the BIOS doesn't assign it to share with the PS/2 mouse, or
another onboard device.

In the volume control , on the options menu select properties . check all items for playback and press OK . Then In the volume control make sure no device is set to MUTE and all volumes are set to high . Do the sound files play now ?????? I think they should because there doesn't seem to be any thing wrong with your sound card ......

Much Luck !!!!!

Ok i know the answer what ever OS you had before like if you had windows 98 your problay going to want to upgrade you drivers and your harddrive with Windows Update.if it dosnt work after that and your sound worked on your other OS i would recommened you bring it to Best Buy Or Reinstall your previous os system that came with the computer.

Provided there is not a problem displayed in device manager related to the sound card , you have it muted , you will have to find all control panels for the device and see what is muted and undo it, if this is not the problem , contact the maker of the sound card online and get their technician to resolve it , as they use such information to iron out bugs , and likely there is a fix already there
