Re: no sound

Follow this then.....

Now, just go to Add Hardware, then Click 'next....

Click yes to already connected the hardware.... then 'next....

Scroll down the list till you reach 'add new hardware device. highlight it,
the hit next...

On the new page click 'manually select from list. then hit next...

leave it on 'show all devices' then hit next...

on this screen, dont select anything, just click 'have disk'
on the 'install from disk' selector, point at your own custom folder
containing the newly edited inf file & the 2 data files... select the inf
file & hit 'ok'

a new list will show, scroll down the right hand list till you find the
'plug and play Software Enumerator' & choose it....

after the install, reboot.... the system can now find the sound driver and
start it & will let you make as much sound as you like.........

Thanks for responding.
You kind of lost me with the way you did it. So I tried thru MSDOS ,got
to
the point were you (delete and remove the line and save). Line 20 wasen,t
exactly on the ExcludeFromSelect line but two above it on a empty line.
directly above the Exclude..... line was [ControlFlags]. So I tried just
removing the exclude line then went to install new hardware but the plug
play
enumerator wasn't there. so I went back and removed both lines within the
spaces ,the controlflags and exclude and the outcome was the same. With
the
way you did it I wasen't sure where you found the file ,name of file etc.
Sounds easy enuf probly just me making it difficult.If you could step by
step
it more that may help.
Sorry for bothering you
Dave

Really Lost ! Could you possibly go a little bit more in depth on how

did
this. I would really appreiciate it

It definately works.....

I am over the moon....

All my brainstrain is over....

I didn't use msdos, i used windows & my mouse... (no typing, :D)
just
copied
the 3 files over to a new folder on desktop...
renamed & removed that line in the text tile with note... then
carried
on
with installing the LOST Plug and Play Software Enumerator....

To get to C:\windows\inf just type it in your browser as windows
hides
the
INF folder....

Let me know if this works. I'm a MSDOS dummy so I don't want to
try
if it
dosen't work. Would reinstalling XP fix the problem? May be
simpler
to
just
install a sound card.

Thanks
Dave

I found the following solution, whether it cures it is anyones

will try it later....


"These are instructions on how to install the Plug and Play
Software
Enumerator in XP/2k -- if it is missing. If it isn't missing
and
works
then
this wouldn't be the cause of your audio problem.

I presume swenum.inf is a Win9X/ME only file. The machine.inf
solution
should work for 2000 and XP. If you can't find or see the files
it
may
be
because your explorer isn't configured to show system or hidden
files --
check your options or use a cmd prompt.

From an MSDOS cmd prompt type or cut and paste:
md \temp
cd \temp
copy %windir%\inf\machine.inf \temp\allmachine.inf
copy %windir%\system32\drivers\swenum.sys \temp
copy %windir%\system32\streamci.dll \temp
notepad \temp\allmachine.inf

Using notepad go to line 20 (CTRL-G 20) which should be
ExcludeFromSelect=*
Delete and remove that line and save the file. Notepad and the
cmd
prompt
can be closed.

%windir% was probably c:\windows\ and that was automatically be
expanded in
the windows cmd prompt.

Now, just go to Add Hardware, add a new hardware device there
at
the
bottom,
install from list, next, have disk, and select the temp
directory
where
we
copied the files (c:\temp\ in the example here).

You should have all the different machine level services listed
since
we've
removed the ExcludeFromSelect=* which hid them all. We only
want
to add
Plug
and Play Software Enumerator and nothing else so select and
install
only
that."

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
