Dear John and Listers Thanks for your reply I have checked the volume control, and have even installed the new MS media player. To no avail. When I try to play a wave file I get a message that there is no device available to play it. Midi still plays fine. One other thing. I have a generic voice modem which has a wave device. It is based on the Cirrus Logic MD3450 chipset. It adds a listing in the sound card section of device manager called "wave device for voice modem". I would delete it but I want the voice capability of the modem. Again, I have the same configuration and the same two cards in other computers with no problems. Any other toughts?
