Again, these are instructions on how to install the Plug and Play Software Enumerator
in XP/2k -- if it is missing. If it isn't missing and works then this wouldn't be
the cause of your audio problem.
If you had problems with the previous instructions, here they are again.
I presume swenum.inf is a Win9X/ME only file.
The machine.inf solution should work for 2000 and XP. If you can't find or see the
files it may be because your explorer isn't configured to show system or hidden files
-- check your options or use a cmd prompt.
From an MSDOS cmd prompt type or cut and paste
md \temp
cd \temp
copy %windir%\inf\machine.inf \temp\allmachine.inf
copy %windir%\system32\drivers\swenum.sys \temp
copy %windir%\system32\streamci.dll \temp
notepad \temp\allmachine.inf
Using notepad go to line 22 (CTRL-G 22) which should be
ExcludeFromSelect=*
delete and remove that line wherever you find it (Line 20 maybe)
and save the file
We're finished that part. Notepad and the cmd prompt can be closed. %windir% was
probably c:\windows\ and that was automatically be expanded in the windows cmd prompt.
Now, just go to Add Hardware, add a new hardware device there at the bottom, install
from list, next, have disk, and select the temp directory where we copied the files
(c:\temp\ in the example here).
You should have all the different machine level services listed since we've removed
the ExcludeFromSelect=* which hid them all. We only want to add Plug and Play Software
Enumerator and nothing else so select and install only that.
