I just upgraded from windows 98 to win me and now have no sound ,i've reinstalled drivers but still no joy can anyone advise ?

Sounds crazy but are leads in the right way?

Volume Controls? (Mute)

Is it actually installed (Correctly)

Correct driver installed....I've seen windows id sound and video cards, you tell it where the driver is and then it just installs somthing like the standard vga etc

get a newer or another driver

Thanks for the reply m8 .and yes the leads are all in place everything was working fine until I upgraded to WinMe then no sound i've tried reinstalling original drivers and new drivers from driverguide.com to no avail I have now concluded that the driver is not compatible with WinMe ,I would like to uninstall this (WinMe )but don't have an uninstall as I hadn't enough memory looks like I may need to buy a new compatible sound card unless anyone else has any ideas !

when I check the drivers in device manager it's saying the driver is enabled but inactive due to an unkown problem !can anyone please help ?

WHAT SOUND CARD DO YOU HAVE ...THE ESS DRIVERS THAT COME IN ME WONT WORK WITH THE ESS SOUND CARD (ACCORDING TO THE ESS SITE)

have you tried re-seating the card? better yet, remove drivers (if you can), take out card, boot it up, power down, reseat card, fire up, let it detect the card and reinstall - double check you have th right driverz!!

Reseating the card will not help because I believe he only upgraded the OS and did not touch the card :) .

Check the Resources tab in the soundcard Properties to see if you have IRQ conflicts.
