the other day, i bought a used pc at a yard sale ( $15 , runs windows 98)... the first day, it played a cd, but the sound was weak.. the next day, and all days after that, all sound stopped.. when i tried to play an mp3, windows media player gives me this message
0xC00D11BA: Cannot play the file
it goes on to say there is a problem with my sound card.. well, after checking my device manager, i found my sound card ( at least, i think it is) as a "ES1869 Plug and Play Audio Drive", and there are no conflicts... when i try to play an mp3 in winamp, its silent, but it looks like it plays.. the meters on my volume control go up and down, like the sound should be on..
i know it's antiquated, but is ther any help?
