SUMMARY

Windows Millennium Edition (Me) does not detect older (legacy) sound cards.

MORE INFORMATION

Non-Plug and Play sound cards are not automatically detected when you perform a clean installation of Windows Me. When you upgrade to Windows Me, the drivers for the sound card remain functional (except for Sound Blaster 16 and AWE32 non-Plug and Play cards; you must manually install the drivers included with your sound card). Please contact the manufacturer of the sound card for drivers or any additional information about the sound card.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
