Lose sound on Restart

[Guest Larry(LJL269)]

Got cheap Storm Surge sound card that Loses sound on Restarting. If I

open tray icon & make any adjustment it comes on ok.

 

Onboard sound originally with it I disabled in DManager but didnt

remove.

 

Any ideas except 'update driver'?

 

Your help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks- bye- Larry

Why not "update driver"? The normal troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Update drivers. In your case, you would need to get them from the Storm

Surge mftr.'s website.

 

2. If that doesn't work, the card is probably defective. Uninstall it and

replace it with a better one. I don't know what you call cheap, but a

decent sound card costs under $20.

Mine was about that cost 5 yrs ago. Now most PC stuff is CHEAP!

 

Was hoping I could flip a bit to fix it :)
