I previously had a sound when I move the volume control.<br><br>It let me know what the voulme level was.<br><br>For some reason I don't have that anymore.<br><br>win98 SE
 
speedduke,<br><br>Silly question, but have you checked your speakers, are they plugged in correctly, if you listen carefully do you have any background hiss, from them when the volume is on full.<br><br>What has changed, ie, new software installed, new hardware added...?? <p>Paul Ovey<br><a href=mailto:paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk>paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Sorry I didn't say so..&nbsp;&nbsp;I do have normal sound for all expected activities.<br><br>My volume level is normal.<br><br>Have I installed anything - I am frequently installing upgrades or something.<br><br>I do not use the volume control very often, so I have no idea how log it hasn't had the sound associated with changing it.<br><br>
 
ok then<br><br>I would just try reinstalling the &quot;multimedia&quot; bit in add control panel / add remove progams / windows setup. <p>Paul Ovey<br><a href=mailto:paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk>paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Paul,<br><br>Just tried deinstalling and then reinstalling multimedia.<br><br>No luck - same problem!
 
PROBLEM FIXED

Quite simple - It uses the default sound and no default sound was set.

 
The exactly problem just happened on my PC (Win98SE). How and where can I setup default sound? Thanks!
 
BTW I already checked Control panel/sounds and there is no
&quot;Default Sound&quot; event under the Windows section of sounds properties.
