i have an hp windows me monitor and im trying to fix the sound on a 8556c hp tower.
when you first hit the button to turn on comp it is loud and muffled. but when i try to hear the sound on media player aol etc it is real light and stattic. i looked on the
device manager and printed 15 pages of the stuff this windows 98 came with. it says it gas a master riptide pci audio device. i was wondering if i can uninstall that and go on hp web site and get a new one. if that would correct the problem. or if some one knows of a way to get the sound back on this 98 computer. the windows me is a small monitor with tiny speakers. so i thought maybe that is the problem. any help would be appreciated

I went to the HP site it lookz like they didnt have a Sound Driver...

If im looking at the right computer.

But and any case if that
Master RipTide PCI Audio Device is yours

Try downloading this Driver but delete the one's you already have...
