Hi Rich Barry

Have done as you send, bit of a long rely,......sorry
First one... Volume..... no sound device......Audio.......All 3 (sound
playback, sond recording, midid music player), nothing.... said default
device couldnt click on anything......Voice.... (Voice playback, voice
recording) Same as above.. default device, nothing to click......
Hardware..... Realtek AC'97 Audio properties.....message said... windows can
not open the device for this hardware. The driver is either corrupt or
missing, code 39.......gave troubleshoot, but when clicked the box was empty.

Treid your second advice.....said RealteckAC 97 audio ...... status ...
Error
