Thread: sound? windows 98

Hi

Could anyone help me with a problem please.

I have Windows 98 and when I plug my headphones in there is no sound. I used to have sound until my pc was re-booted and now that I am up and running again I don't seem to have sound.

Many thanks

/WELL THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP MEMBERS, I AM OVERWHELMED WITH ALL THE HELPFUL PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM

Sorry for a late reply, been ofline for a couple of days, Fan burnt out on the motherboard.

Never seen or used Win98, but checking your problem online threw up this as a suggestion.

"To start simply, right click your sound icon , select 'Open volume controls' and make sure nothing is muted.
Then right click again and select 'Adjust audio properties' and see if your soundcard is selected in the drop-down menu. If it is, and you still have no sound, select 'use any available device' and see if that works.

If still no sound, go back and select your sound card again. Then go to Start/Settings/Control Panel/ and select 'System' Click on the 'Device Manager' tab and highlight your soundcard in the drop-down list. Select 'Properties/Driver and then 'Update Driver' Follow the instructions to let Windows re-install your sound-card drivers.

If after that it says ' The best driver for this device is already installed' it may well be that your card is cream-crackered, like you said in the first place."

Any help?

Any help?[Hi, no luck, I've tried different ways to get sound on. Have message saying Selected file has an extension that is not recognized by Windows Media Player but the player may still be ablr to play.

Im getting everything else but the sound so it's working ok, Im sure it's something small but can't work out what to do.

thanks for trying
