OK; here is problem...And yes, I have searched and tried suggestions in this Forum...
I have W2K3 Ent Ed, configured as Workstation as per Neowin article (MS Java; DirectX 9.0; etc). I am an Administrator group user. I have SoundBlaster AWE 64 (ISA) soundcard; CT4520. This card works fine on Win2000, WinXP, and Win9x. This soundcard is installed in [this] machine which has detachable HDDs with these other O/S's installed. No problems.
...Until I use HDD with W2K3 installed. Now, I go to Services and set Audio to Automatic. All OK. I go to device Manager and install WinNT SB AWE 64 drivers for Audio and Midi (because that is what Hardware manager selects). All OK. I go to DirectX, it won't let me adjust any Music properties, because it says no drivers installed. But it does let me Enable all three DirectX settings.
...And of course, there is still no sound at all...
Now, I have *no* yellow "!" in Device Manager; Windows Audio Services is Auto & Started; latest DirectX Diag says all is good; still no sound.
...Switch to WinXP/Win2000/Win9x HDD, sound is fine.
I would please welcome any ideas.
Thank you for listening!
