I had no sound on my Sony Picturebook, and thought there was something wrong internally. But I followed your advice. I didn't actually go the rightmost column (that didn't seem relevant in my case.) I went to the PC Speaker column, and turned up the volume (which was set to 0) with the up-arrow. The fact that this is not suggested in System Settings=>Soundcard Detection simply confirms my view that this "wizard" is in fact completely useless. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
