No Sound???

Hello,

I am having a little trouble with my PC.. It's an older PC... 99,00 model.. Amd K6 CPU with Soyo 5SSM mobo and 98SE OS

Anyways, this PC was our first and it's a pretty good PC to be its age. One day I was just trying to clean the system up a bit.. I was in the CP removing programs from the add/remove list and I went to remove one of those stupid spyware programs from the list and my PC froze and I just cursed and proceeded to reboot... I found that the PC was acting really strange after than and a lot of errors were coming up and I found the program list was completly empty... Long story short the PC got the the point where it froze at the OS loading screen so I ended up Reinstalling windows and now I cannot get my sound to work.. I've uninstalled and installed the drivers several times but never seems to work.. I get beeps from the internal speaker but never any audio..

This is what it says in Device manager:
ESS Solo-1 DOS Emulation
ESS Solo-1 PCI AudioDrive

Any Help on how to get my speakers working?

Thanks,
-Jason

I forgot to mention that the soundcard is built-into the mobo... thanks!

well,... I've made a little progress... I went to the Control Panel, Click on "Multimedia"... The 'Audio' tab was disabled so I went to the 'Devices' tab and found my card... The status for the device said this "Device is enabled but inactive for unknown reasons"

Anyway I can find out why it's disabled?

Thanks,
Jason
