Well, I have an Orchid SoundWave 32 series sound card, and since it came back from my "guru" for upgrades (including new mother board) I have not had sound. I should also mention that I am using a new internet connection (ethernet card) through a dedicated phone line with an external modem.
I have pulled the card and tried it in a different slot as well as pulling the ethernet card and trying it in a different slot...nothing seems to work right. For instance, I hear my start up chime for Win 98 and I also hear my other programs, however, there is a very annoying tick, tick tick sound being emitted as well as when I have my sound card "plugged" in I cannot access my modem- I just get an error that says "Failure to load Tap"??? Anyway, as soon as the sound card is removed, I can dial out of my modem...very strange...I've tryed different combonations of slots (ethernet and soundcard combo's) but, no luck...it really stinks, I finally have some great speed for surfing, but no sound..
I would be so grateful, if someone would be able to offer any suggestions, or advice. My guru is out of town until the new year, and I would really like to see if I can solve it myself first, before spending a lot of money. Thanks alot for your time..sorry its so long, but it is difficult to explain it simply...
