Hi --
Could use some suggestions, please.
I keep losing the audio on this notebook computer. First I noticed that
occasionally I didn't get the XP sound when it loaded. Now I never do. Am
getting absolutely no audio whatsoever, not from a music CD, or from any
other sounds. This is true for both Windows Media Player and QuickTime.
The operating system is XP Home. Everything is up to date. The audio
controller is SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio. Everything is and has been
installed. There are no yellow exclamation points in Device Manager.
There's plenty of memory and plenty of storage space.
Today I decided to address the problem as thoroughly as I could and have
checked every setting I can think of. Nothing is muted. Everything seems
right. I deleted the existing SoundMax driver and the computer reinstalled
it when I rebooted. Still no joy. I used the driver CD that came with the
computer and reinstalled the SoundMax drivers. At first, there was no
change and then all of a sudden, there was sound again. Joy!
I left the computer on and plugged in (not running off battery), and went
away for several hours. Upon my return, no sound again! There has been no
intervening reboot.
Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on here?
Thanks.
Zan
