My sound is screwed up

joyo · 01-11-2004, 01:55 AM

Somthing is wrong with my sound, I have basic sounds like the startup noise of windows. also when playing a game i have some sounds like in age of empires i have the music in the background but no sounds of me being attacked or fighting. also it wont let me listen to music at all, i use winamp and i click on the song and it just scrolls down like it cant find the song on my hard drive, but ive checked and all my songs are there and i can burn them to a cd and have them work then, but when i put a cd in it does the same thing where it scrolls down my list. please help!

it sounds like a problem I had a while back try the following>
1. uninstall winamp
2. reinstall winamp

test winamp

if it doesn't work check the drivers for your card and update if nessecary

as for AOE check the settings for background and sound effects

thanks yeah that did work for winamp, but now windows media player won't play anything with sound. I can watch the movie but there is no sound. I've already tried unistalling and reinstalling.
