Hello Ken, thank you for your answer and thank you for letting me know about very usefull program Dependency Walker, I don't have Winamp and SNDVOL32.EXE doas not respond, I use Dependency Walker to see what files are missing in sndvol32.exe, Dependency Walker program show that 13 *.dll file are missing, I download them all and than I got this message:"Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module". I search other forums from meny web sites and I come across that meny people have some or similar problems regarding sound but ther is no right answer for our sound problem. I hope one day some one will come with right solution. Sincerely Majda.
