New User has no Sound?

[JGT]

In the past I have been the only one to use my computer
and have always loged in as Administrator. I haven't had
any hardware issues. Resently I added a two new users.
One with User security and the other with Guest security.
Neither have sound on their account even though the sound
works perfectly when I login as Administrator. I looked
at the device manage on each account and even though I get
a message the I can't change them I can still view them
and there doesn't appear to be any faulty devices. What
shoud I check? How do I get sound in the other login
accounts? What extra information do you require?
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Are the profiles of the User and Guest configured to use Windows Sounds?

Thanks for your reply Mr. Chang.
How would I go about creating a profile so my new user has
access to the sound card? I don't have any profile other
than the default, because in the past I was the only one
loging on. I check the new users account on the profile
tab and there isn't any profile. I don't have one under
Administrator either, but I don't think Admin needs one.
At this time I only have one computer and want my son who
is visiting to be able to run his programs, but I don't
want him to be able to run amock on the computer.
He can easily mess a lot of thing up if I allow him to
loging in under Administrator acciedntly. What do I need
to do to creat a user account so he can log in and run
programs, but not have access to sensitive areas of the
computer.
Thanks
Jeff

Jeff,

Control Panel | Sound and Multimedia properties. What does it show up when
you log in as user or guest?

Thanks Mr. Chang.
That was the problem. Thanks for pointing me in the right
direction. For some reason the default setting on a new
user is set to the Mother Board sound module, which is
disabled, instad of the Wonder Pro 9000 installed card.
Made the correction and the sound is up.
