    No he hadnt used it I was there when he had them delivered. They were both boxed fromhis purchaser (whom I dont know). He paid $180 for the two, sold me this one for $100 and kept the other one. He's a retired chap who knows less than me actually. ( maybe he knows more than I give him credit for).
    He bench tested it and it seemed ok, but on the bench he didnt have any audio set up.

    I just wanted to upgrade from my AMD Athalon to a newer computer (faster), he had this, I had $100.
    I seem to remember somewhere the year 2004, which is a massive improvement on my old computer.

    Well if all this is too much, then can I get a different sound card and put it in to make it work?

    Perhaps, but there are a few more things we haven't tried yet...

    Look though the BIOS and see if you can Enable your Sound (or Sound Card - just look for those key words).

      Sorry thats a pretty ratty picture of the inside.
      Does this tell you anything... like if it has a sound card? or an on board sound ???Chip?
      The bios for sound was enable.

      I just noticed something different away from this problem, the auto hide bar on the bottom wont come up when I have a screen open. I'll deal with that though at a later date.

      I couldn't tell, sorry, but I don't think you have a Sound Card.

      Something seems to be up with that picture. :P

        Hmmmmmmm...

        I'm almost out of suggestions....

        I guess you can try a System Restore to whatever System checkpoint that might have come up in the short time you have had your computer...

        I think you should reinstall your motherboard drivers though...

          What does a reinstal of motherboard drivers involve? Where do I get them from, Intel? for an e210882 mobo?

          System restore took me back to three exclamation marks again, Video controller, ethernet and audio. No sound on media player.

          Oh well we tried.
          I'll try to install the motherboard drivers then. ( maybe I'll do that tommorrow. Its 2 am here)
          Thank you for trying to help me carbon Im too tired now. I'll have a fresh look in a couple of hours after some sleep.
          Thanks again

          Go to Intel's site and look for Downloads and Drivers (or something similar).

          Look up your Motherboard's model number, download the drivers, and reinstall them.
          It's getting late here too.....12am....

          Heh, I guess we'll both continue in the morning. ;)

            Well no luck for me at the intel website. Ive trawelled through drivers and downloads with zips and exe's. Ive tried chipsets and motherboard identifyers.
            And sorry to say ( I have no idea what Im doing) no sound.

              I am just at a loss as why these drivers havent worked.
              Does everest give you the details of the audio. and it should be a simple download of those drivers?

              course 2... Can I put in a card into a slot for the audio and then use that for the sound?

              Borrow an add-on sound card and install it...
              If it works buy one...they're not all that expensive.

              Have you tried this page:  http://www.pc.tpg.com.au/index.php#audio

              There are five downloads available...three of which are for Windows 9X, however...you can try the first and last drivers to see if this fixes the problem.

              The sound is onboard...so, either the above drivers can be tried...or we can use the mobo information to find the correct audio controller.

              Keep us posted...

              If the above doesn't work....you can always look here for your motherboard's chipset, as well as the audio driver for that specific motherboard:
