HEY EVERYBODY!
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY COMPUTER LIKE THREE DAYS AGO... EVERYTHING WAS STUCK ON 16 BIT AND IT WAS REALLY NASTY! MY BROTHER FINALLY FIXED IT BY GOING TO CONTROL PANEL | SYSTEMS | DEVICE MANAGER AND FIGURING IT OUT. WELL, WHEN WE RESTARTED EVERYTHING WAS JUST LIKE THE WAY IT HAD BEEN, EXCEPT! MY VOLUME CONTROL WAS MISSING! I HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH ACCESSORIES AND THEN ENERTAINMENT, BUT IT'S NOT THERE! AND I HAVE ALREADY GONE TO CONTROL PANEL AND THEN MULTIMEDIA AND I'M UNABLE TO CLICK ANYTHING! BUT THEN I GO TO DEVICES, PRESS THE + SO I CAN OPEN AUDIO DEVICES, AND AUDIO FOR ESS SOLO-1 PCI IS THERE. SO, I CLICK ON PROPERTIES AND IT SAYS "STATUS: DRIVER IS ENABLED BUT INACTIVE DUE TO AN UNKNOWN PROBLEM" WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS? I'M UNABLE TO DETERMINE! SO IF YOU COULD PLEASE HELP I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT! IT STINKS NOT BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC! AHHHH! PLEASE HELP ME FAST! PLEASE?!

Hey, first try reinstalling the sound card driver - http://www.soundcard-drivers.com/drivers/30/30633.htm

Thanks a lot! I honestly don't know how to go about it, but I will figure a way out! I'll tell you how it goes...

Download the correct sound card driver and unzip it somewhere on the PC in a folder then goto system and say update driver under the sound card peoperties.

Thanks! Doesn't sound too hard! But I do have another question! From that website you gave me, can I just register and click on ESS Solo.1 zip?
