I have a slight problem. I upgraded from windows 98 SE to windows xp. Windows xp detected my sound card and installed the proper drivers. However, I'm still not getting any sound out of the speakers. I have checked to make sure nothing is muted and that the speakers are connected. Any suggestions? My sound card once again - creative ensoniq audioPCI - ES-1373. HELP!
Try this. Reboot into the BIOS. Run setup defaults, save and reboot to XP.

I'm back. I went into the BIOS and noticed that the audio device was listed as enabled. I went ahead and reset the BIOS. The audio device was once again listed as enabled. However, I still have no sound. I have tried installing the original windows 98 drivers that came with it but xp won't let me. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?

I solved the problem by going to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q302710 which led me to http://www.gateway.com/support/drivers/getFile.asp?id=6324 The problem is that our sound card was made to support analog and digital speakers. The XP sonnd card driver only supports analog speakers. My gateway came with Boston DIGITAL speakers (BA735). Gatewawy came up with an XP driver to support digital speakers. It works great, just follow ith installtion instructions. Good Luck
