Please search the newsgroup to find answers quickly.

Error 80040256/00040258 (No audio hardware is available, or the hardware is
not responding) and C00D11BA (Cannot play the file because there is a
problem with your sound device) along with most sound card related problems
can be fixed just reinstalling the drivers for the sound card.

Windows Media Player uses DirectSound to interface with the sound card, so
sound very well might work in other applications and just not WMP. More
information and tips can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3455d.

If reinstalling the drivers doesn't fix the problem then the next step you
should try is updating/reinstalling DirectX. DirectX can be downloaded at
http://tinyurl.com/97jw.

If you need help locating where to get the latest drivers for your sound
card try the following. Your Device Manager in Windows "should" supply the
information assume the sound card has been detected. To access the Device
Manager right click on My Computer and select the Device Manager tab. In
Windows XP goto the Hardware Tab and select Device Manager.

If you don't know how to access the Device Manager or it doesn't show your
card, than the easiest thing to do is download a free utility like Belarc
Advisor (http://tinyurl.com/5w6o). Run the installer then it will open a
webpage for you. Under Multimedia it will tell you the sound card or "Audio
Controller" you have in your PC. You may now goto that companies website
and download the drivers and reinstall them.

And if that doesn't help you will need to provide all the information you
can about your system in a reply in the newsgroup. http://tinyurl.com/2o4h9
will help you supply good information to your peer's to help you out.

the problems I've been having. However, when I look for an audio device, it
states that there is "no playback device". I know that I had a sound card at
one time... all of a sudden it stopped working. I have no idea what I did,
one day I started the computer up (Windows ME) and noticed there wasn't any
chiming at the start-up. Thsi happens with all files, no matter where I try
playing them from. Of course, I do have the speakers and everything
connected correctly. (I know it's simple, but that's what everyone's telling
me) Also, where the volume control is normally located in the lower right
hand corner, it is no longer there. The speaker icon has disappeared. I took
your suggestion to download Belarc and under Multimedia there is nothing
listed "none detected". Does this mean I have no video card also, because I
find none listed in any other category. This computer can play videos still
(I think).
