I guess many people still experience the same problem with C-Media audio device or
no sound problem after system restored or re-installing XP. The problem is the window
XP will select the default sound playback device - in my instance the "modem line
play back audio device". Hence you need to go to "control Panel" open the "sound
and Audio Device" select the Audio tab and re-select sound playback default device
and sound recording default device to C- Media.
This also apply when you install a new C-Media PCI Sound Card, it seems the device
installation falls short of changing the default device setting.
