Good morning Dan;
Thank you for taking the time to help. I went to Device manager>audio and there was
no + sign since Audio seemed to already expanded. Strange since all of the others
did have the + and did expand when clicked on. I went to the Audio tab and the entire
thing is grayed out. That was in the Multimedia rt. click on that on Control panel>and
that is where all of the Audio is already expanded and not any of the others. When
I highlite each object under Audio, the properties button does not pop up. However,
when I expand any of the categories beneath the Audio, the category expands and when
I highlite one of that categories items, the Properties button does turn on. On that
opened Multimedia window, if I click on the Audio tab, the entire audio window is
grayed. I just went to System>Device Manager tab>Sound, Video & Game Controllers.
I clicked on it and it shows that there is a Yamaha OPL3-SAx driver installed and
clicking on properties shows that "driver working properly". I am bothered however
by the grayed out Audio tab on the Multimedia window that opens when rt. click on
Multimedia on Control Panel. Any ideas? I guess since the device mgr. shows that
the Yamaha is working properly, it must be the "card" that is messed up but I do
not know how to analyze for that.
Thanks again. I appreciate it.
Tony
