Well...I thought I updated my BIOS, but it didn't and won't take. It won't
recongnize the disk. But the soundcard drivers are for XP, got them from the
Gateway website, as my computer is a gateway.
I would have done a clean install, but I have over 50 hours of music on my
hard drive and no way to back it up so as to reinstall later.
I looked in the BIOS and with the version I currently have
(4w4sb0x0.15a.0013.po8) there is no place to enable or disable sound options.
It has options for video, but not sound.
I'm at a complete loss.
Thanks for your reply, it's greatly appreciated.
