Alex,

I don't know if it would solve your problem or not but you might try
uninstalling Real Player. If for no other reason, check the following:

Can you give me a bit more information about going into the Bios to enable
sound? I'm running WIN98 and I've tried everything else. At first I thought
the problem was just with my Win Media Player but then I realized my Sounds
file also wasn't working. To make matters even more confusing my Real Media
One player is working.

TIA
