Re: Sound problems

If a sound is not associated with an event it will never play for that event, regardless if MP can play them or not. MP is an apple of a different nature.

In Control Panel > Audio and Sounds applet > Sounds tab.
Click on any of the events to highlite it.
Either select a sound from the dropdown menu or browse to one you wish to use.
Click Apply once you have selected a sound.
Test the sound by clicking the > next to the .wav input box.
Test the event for the associated sound by performing the event.

Brian,

The sound volume icon doews not show although it is selected in SOUNDS AND
AUDIO devices.

Do you mean the box "Place volume icon...." is checked under the Volume tab?
If yes, do you have the box "Hide inactive icons" checked in the Taskbars properties?
Right click an empty spot on the Taskbar.
Click Properties > Taskbar tab.
Uncheck "Hide....", click Apply > Ok.
Either right click the volume icon or double click and see if the sound is muted.

Yes it was hidden but the icon has still not appeared in the task bar. I can
get it from Control Panel.

THere is no sound either system sounds or sounds from other installed
programs. But Media player plays as normal with sound!

In Control Panel > Audio and Sounds applet > Sounds tab.
Are any sounds associated with any events?

No. There is no response. However I can play the sounds through the media
player - so they are there!




The default device is SOUNDBLASTER LIVE 24 bit.

There are no conflicts in device manager.

The SOUNBLASTER is listed and it says the device is working properly.

Ok, for the moment I await the above answers.
