re: Question about 'How do I get my sound card to work? Friday, December 9, 2005 at 11:39 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Richard (13 messages posted) I am at the end of this thread and at the end of the rope I am hanging myself with. My sound is gone, my soundcard (Creative Sound Blaster Live! Value) is installed but clicking on "Sounds and Audio Devices" only shows greyed out options. I have no sound control, no sound icon in task bar. "Sounds and Audio Devices" window from the control panel has the "Volume", "Audio", and "Voice" Tabs greyed out with "No Playback Devices" "No Media Devices" etc. showing in the greyed out dropdowns, indicating no sound system installed. OS is ME and I've tried re-installing the sound card with the Dell supplied CD which gets hung up and doesn't finish loading. I've downloaded drivers and installed them with no success. I've tried most of the suggestions in this thread except for the XP suggestions. (I wish people wouldn't post in the incorrect forum? It's not helpful!) Any other ME help out there for this problem please? One more thing, my shift>left mouse click or shift>arrow to highlight text, or select a number of files etc... is not working.
