Does your sound card have any problems?
Open the Device Manager and check the status of the sound card.
Start Run | Type: devmgmt.msc | Click OK |
[[To view the status of a device
1. Open Device Manager.
2. Double-click the type of device you want to view.
3. Right-click the specific device you want and then click Properties.
4. On the General tab, under Device status is a description of the device
status.
Notes
• To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click
Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab,
click Device Manager.
• If the device is experiencing a problem, the type of problem is displayed.
You might also see a problem code and number and a suggested solution. If
you call a support line, this number can be useful for determining and
diagnosing the problem.
• For information on how to resolve hardware device problems, click
Troubleshoot to start the Hardware Troubleshooter. ]]
[[A black exclamation point (!) on a yellow field indicates the device is in
a problem state. Note that a device that is in a problem state can be
functioning.
A problem code explaining the problem is displayed for the device.
A red "X" indicates a disabled device. A disabled device is a device that is
physically present in the computer and is consuming resources, but does not
have a protected-mode driver loaded.
A blue "i" on a white field on a device resource in Computer properties
indicates that the Use Automatic Settings feature is not selected for the
device and that the resource was manually selected. Note that this does not
indicate a problem or disabled state.
A green question mark "?" in Device Manager means that a compatible driver
for this device is installed, indicating the possibility that all of the
functionality may not be available. ]]
