All Right, here is the skinny.

My cousin brought me his computer (HP Pavillion 6635 w/ Win98SE) because he wasn't getting any sound. So I take a look and see that there were some problems with the drivers according to Device Manager. So I go to HP's website and download the drivers, install them and all looks good (again according to Device Manager). I reboot and notice that there isn't any sound playing. Well I go into Control Panel\Multimedia and notice that under "Playback Device" the preferred device is "No Playback Device". Now, I've uninstalled, reinstalled newer/older drivers to no avail. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance,
