Volume control will not load, and has disappeared from the
system tray. I have an SiS7018 card. I have removed the
device and reinstalled (after locating a new driver), but
still no sound.

In Sounds & Multimedia, the devices available are 'wave
modem' and 'game compatible device', not the SiS card.

There are no duplicates or flagged devices in Device
Manager.

Any ideas ?

Could you try a System Restore, back to a point before the
problem occured?

Did you try removing ALL the Sound drivers from Safe Mode
before reinstalling(not all components are shown in Normal
Mode)?

Try the Music Tab in DirectX diagnostics
(Start|Run|dxdiag), hear anything?

In Sounds & Multimedia, check out Properties of the
installed components - Any messages like "Driver is
enabled but inactive owing to an unknown problem"?

Post back.

Bill.

Hi-

I have the "Driver is

>enabled but inactive owing to an unknown problem"?

message, and the same problem.

I also have a "Inactive Sound Entries in Registry"

-- Card name:AC'97 Driver for Intel(r) 82801 Controller.

My fun began after updating Windows ME from the MS windows
update site.

Any thoughts?
