This computer never ceases to amaze me with its ****tyness.
The latest problem to interrupt my otherwise peaceful day?
No Sound. At all. Ever. Unless, of course, I have Motocross Madness 2 running in the backround. Duh, right? Just run that game, and alt-tab it into the background, and things are peachy, right? Except that game takes up a bit too much of my RAM and CPU to do much more than browse the internet and/ or listen to music. I did not pay $1300 to listen to music. I want to play games.
It all started when I alt-F4'd out of the game after loading a level. BLAM! "Im deaf? No, its just this that theres no sound coming out of the speakers. Odd, sounds were playing a few seconds ago..." ::Kicks the machine::
I use an Intel 82801AA AC'97 audio controller (laugh now), and it seems there are no drivers anywhere on the web for it. So no chance of a new driver helping this.
I am going to reformat when my idiot sister gets around to making a list of "important files" that she wants to keep, but until then what can I do?
If I dont get my sound back, people are going to die.
