I have checked other similar questions but my problem does not seem to
match others particularly.

I cannot hear sounds!

I have XP Home, SP2 all updates, and Creative Audigy ZD2 soundcard, I
think I have latest drivers etc. I can "just" hear sounds from the
computer speaker! When I boot up, the welcome sounds seem to briefly
come from the loudspeakers, then stop, then revert to computer speaker
only. I have tried the software with the package "Creative diagnostic"
and it said that it could find no soundcard!!, and suggested taking it
out, and putting it back in, which I duly did, with no luck! The
soundcard is on the device manager, and on Aida software. there are no
mute buttons on the volume control. the only thing I "may" have done,
was put in a new wireless card, but that should not interfere.

Any ideas please, and if more information required please ask.

Thanks

Colin

Move the sound card in another PCI slot.
