If the pc has an add-on sound card,open device mgr,expand the sound
tree,R.click all the sound card listings (one at a time),select "uninstall",
do not restart pc after each,once thru,exit device,shutdown pc.Move the
sound card to another PCI slot,start pc,xp will reinstall it..If its
on-board,
do the same w/o the card move.Also,one can go to run,type: DXDIAG
Run the Direct X sound tests..
