Re: no sound

I have exactly the same problem.... identical... I have tried asking on here
times over the last few weeks, but nobody seems to have a clue how to
rectify the prob...

I have tried installing many versions of the driver....
installed/uninstalled, still no change.... done it all... got extremely
bored trying different ideas.... even showing the hidden non-running devices
just in case...

I think its got something to do with one of windows updates.... A couple of
months back, I let MS update install the AC97 driver update.... my sound
disappeared, I rolled back the driver, all came back and had been fine
since, until a few weeks back, my sound simply disappeared, the driver
wouldn't start.... even my original driver installs fine but refuses to
start, Xp states to device is fine....

I have completely run out of ideas.... How on earth can the device be fine,
the driver be enabled, but it wont start....

I might pick out a spare drive & install a fresh copy of XP & the sound
driver on it just to prove a point....

I recently lost my sound.I have a SiS 7012 audio driver . I went into
device
manager and into properties for audio driver and the status says : driver
is
enabled but has not been started. Else where it tells me that the device
is
working properly. When I go into sounds and audio devices from the
control
panel , it tells me that I have no audio device. And that my default
device
is modem#0 line playback, there is no other choice in the drop down box.
I
have uninstalled and reinstalled the device. Now I'm just as lost as my
sound,is there a way to "start" the driver?
Please help
thanks
