i don't mean to sound like a spaz but, how do i find out what
make/model
my
motherboard is? i don't have any of the documentation that came
with this
PC
anymore.

in multimedia the playback and recording devices are both set to
VIA Audio
(WAVE).
however when i switched playback device to (use any device
available) i
can
now hear sound very quietly coming from my speakers with them
turned up
full
blast. I have since turned it back to VIA Audio (WAVE) and i can
hear the
quiet sounds still. what is goign on?

hello.
i posted about a week ago about a lack of sound, which i still
have. it
was
diagnosed as probably the soundcard problem and not my
speaker's fault
so
i
am looking for further advice.
going into device manager in widnows 98 then 'sound, videos
and games
controller'
i have these options
closed caption decoder
gameport joystick
nabts/fec vbi codec
via pci audio controller (wdm)
wave device for voice modem
wavetop (tm) nabts/cc vbi codec

is one of these my sound card? i'm not sure it is. If not is
there a
way
i
can find out what make/model my soundcard is so as to get a
driver for
it
and reinstall it, without having to open up my PC?

thanks


via pci audio controller (wdm) entry is the sound.
Go into Control panel , multimedia, and see if there are devices
listed on the Audio Tab for Playback and Recording.

I would speculate that you need to go into add/remove programs,
remove
the audio driver, then reboot and reinstall it. You might see
if your
motherboard manufactuer has a newer version or download what
they have
just for the heck of it.

Giving us details of motherboard make/model might help too.
