sound driver or card???

I have lost my sound and cannot figure out what I need to do to get it back. Going to Control Panel>System>Device manager and scrolling down the list, I have a YAMAHA OPL3-SAx Reserved and it says that it is a driver and that the "Device is working properly". So, I guess I have a driver but, how do I locate which sound card I have besides tearing into the PC? Isn't the name of it somewhere that can be found in the Control Panel. Going to Start>Programs>Accessories>System Information>click + on Components and + on Multimedia and click Audio codecs, it shows all of my drivers. It also shows: 1. cd audio (CD Audio device-Media Control) group- mci driver- mcicda.drv disabled version 4.3.0.1998 2. sequencer (MIDI Sequencer Device-Media Control) group- mci driver- mciseq.drv disabled version 4.3.0.1998 3. waveaudio (wave Audio Device-Media Control) group- mci driver- mciwave.drv disabled version 4.3.0.1998 All of the other drivers (10 more) appear to be fine. How do I enable these three? Anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate your help. Obviously this is the root of why I have lost all of my sound and when I open Multimedia on the control panel, half of the tabbed pages are grayed out. Thank you, Tony
