Does Gateway not like SB in XP?
Hi Forum can you help:
I attach below my system specs and two posts which I had made on 5 & 6 April.
I had the sound working but since then, of its own, it has decided that silence is
best.
Is there any way out of this, please?

Hi forum world
My upgrade to XP from Me was cumbersome to say the least. Have now tried all the
fixes that have been posted on these forums(including uninstalling the drivers and
letting XP re-intall them) I now have version 5.2.6366.0
Guess what? Still no sound.
The sound card is that world famous Creative AudioPCI(ES1371,ES1373)(WDM) and I
know one day my sound will be back. My Gateway machine details are:

the best person for the job is....
Well I no longer am working in silence. (Currently playing - Andy Kershaw)Here is
what I did in essence...briefly..
Uninstalled all the audio drivers*
Went to Everest to get my system hardware report*
Figured my sound card was Soundblaster PCI 128 aka Ensoniq ES1371
Downloaded a driver from the Creative website...rebooted...voila.
Thanks to all who post here as * means I found the information on this thread. You wonderful people make the IT world a great place.
Cheers
