On & off sound

[Guest]

OK... here goes...

My neighbors PC (2.4 Celeronm 256 meg ram) has this funky sound issue.

Whenever he visits a website - say CNN - the sound works fine in Media
Player. But if he puts in a CD - nada, nuttin, zilch.

I first just thought it was a bug with Media Player 10 & downloaded MP11.
Didn't make any difference. Still no sopund.

In desperation I turned to the Lord of Darkness and downloaded and manually
installed Real Player. That worked fine for all sites and played CDs just
fine.

What gives? A free case of Molsons to whoever can solve this problem.

I downloaded the MSN Mgr 7.0..... upon install ALL my audio has ceased..if
you get this figured out I'll send you the Molson

Well gentlemen. We now have two cases of Molson on the table.

And still only sporadic sound. I'll raise the ante by adding a case of
LaBatts to the first successful solution provider.

Did he install a new CD-ROM? If so, there was possibly a cable that
should have been plugged into the CD-ROM and the sound card. It just
has two wires..

Where did my sounds go?

Hmmm... good point. Will check and advise. You may have a case of Molsons on
the way...

I'll skip the Molsons, thanks. It's not a beer I'm fond of.

I've been doing some "sympathy" drinking in support of someone winning the

Just eliminated the cable possibility. If it was a cabling issue the beast
would not play CDs in either Media or Real Player.

Back to square one.

I need a beer....

Me too, but in my case, it's a martini.

Look at Device Properties in Device manager. on the "Properties" Tab, is
"Enable digital CD audio...." checked?
