grrr

This isn't a big issue but there is something wrong with the sound on this pootur.

No updates for drivers and everything seems to be working correctly but I can't play music or videos with sound. Have been having intermittent problems for a couple of months but it is now no sound but those annoying system sounds.

I am planning to go through msconfig and figure out if everything is loading properly. Then uninstall a couple of programs and see if that works. If not, I may end up disabling this sound stuff and putting in a different card.

It isn't as though sound is vital. I could get the portable cd player out to listen to music but having sound is nice.

I can't use Naturally Speaking, either. That is something I miss. Was just figuring out how to get it integrated into email and blogs and so forth and things went "kablooey."
