It is possible that your sound card is fried, but then again, the system is reporting that it is working properly. Try reseating the card in it's PCI slot first. 1. Unplug the computer. 2. After it is unpluged, hit the power button on the computer. this will discharge any leftover power in the power supply. 3. Take off the side of your case. 4. *Touch your power supply with both hands. This is to discharge any static electricity you may have built up. 5. Locate your sound card. Remove the screw and gently pull the card out of it's PCI slot. 6. Inspect the little metal contacts for damage or dust. Also inspect the interior of the case for dust. If dusty, then try to get as much out as you can. A can of canned air is useful for this. 7. Reseat the sound card in the PCI slot. Replace the screw. 8. plug it back in and turn on the computer. 9. If it boots, then good. Replace the speaker cables and test. If not, then go back to step 1 and instead of using the same PCI slot, use a different one. 10. If this does not work, remove the card, and purchace a new one. 11. Put the side of the case back on. I hope that it is not the card, Sci. Good luck. |

I hope that it is not the card, Sci. Good luck. You can also use a standard Pencil eraser to lightly rub over the contacts this removes some of the more stubborn grease and oxidation on them. D.M. |

Did you have a big storm lately? Lightning and such? When sound cards go out I find it is usually from lightning. It also takes out dial up modems with the audio card in the cases I've seen. |

I'm no Guru but I have an idea that the Gurus may determine if its worth a shot. Lets say that maybe just maybe it is not the sound card. Who says you have to have a sound card for a computer to run? I know of many office work stations that do not enjoy such a luxury. I suggest a test. Remove the sound card (using all the typical static electricity precautions). Then see if your computer will boot properly. If it does you know its the card and you can go download what ever software and or drivers you need for that card before re-installing it. My latest tool for just such an emergency is a CD called "Windows XP Live Edition 2" "Run Windows XP Directly From Your CD Rom...no installation Needed. Just Burn this ISO on cd rom...insert CD in your cd drive.....Restart pc with using cd rom as 1st boot device...and you have done...windows xp will directly run from CD !!!so many softwares also built in with this. Special version Windows XP Mcft: Live Edition 2(WinPE) capable to be loaded from this compact disc in operative memory of your personal computer.WinPE has the same kernel as well as at Windows XP, but only with that difference, that there there is a sufficient minimum to enter on any section of the machine or to be connected to a network. The disk allows to restore operational systems when those refuse to be loaded. Support of all operational systems from Mcft Win9X/NT/2000/XP and, accordingly, file systems FAT/FAT32/NTFS/CDFS" As of 02-05-2006 these links are still good. Note the don't last long.

But your computer might stay up if the sound card was removed. Also you should be able to toggle through many items using your "TAB" button and cursor arrows. What computer are you posting with now? Again good luck, Skank |

This is starting to sound like a job for professionals. Too many different things are breaking all at the same time. It might only be an O/S problem, but it's starting to sound more like a hardware problem to me. Any warranty left on your PC? |
