If the vol control is disabled it is a driver issue. Is it an ISA sound card? windows2000 has problems with many ISA devices in that it doesn't support them. Also, you may need the latest drivers from the manufacturers website. Try uninstalling it from Device Manager, and reinstalling it after restarting the machine. That's about all I can think if right now. If all that fails, go down to a boot fair any buy an SB16 for 50p. It's old, fairly good, and supported by windows2000. Its probably better than an ESS Allegro anyhow.
