I got an old PC from my wife's business, but the sound did not
work. It just ticked about once per second. She said the
sound worked fine when she had it. Then I recalled
the only thing that I changed was the modem. I removed this
modem (a Lucent winmodem) and hear music again.
Now I had tried dxdiag before and answered 'no' to the
questions did you hear a sound? out of curiosity I ran
dxdiag again. Now it won't start up. I get a message
DxDiag has detected that there may have been a problem
accessing DirectSound the last time this program was used.
And the PC seizes up: hard disk light goes out, mouse will
not move, even ctrl-alt-del has no effect.
It is Windows 2000 SP4
dxdiag is 5.01.2600.0881
the sound card is a generic SB16 type. |
