unable to ear system's sound

[Guest :. mrcmobile]

win2k workstation sp4 - Audio driver AC97 last updates.

It happens that I can't ear system sounds. All wav files are played

correctly.

 

If I play a test wav file I can ear it correctly. If I go to control panel

sounds and I assign a sound to an operation (f.i. empty trash), the speakers

play correctly the wav files.

But if I close control panel and I try to empty trash or anything other

applications with associated sound, I can only ear the beep from the

motherboard buzzer.

 

I have re-installed ac97 drivers with last updates. No success. Any tips?

Thank you.

I found many suggestions here, some for Win 2000 and some for XP:
