John, it certainly looks that way. :thumbup: :thumbup:

So you read secret messages where none existed. That post was only 100% technical. Anything that made you think otherwise is only from inside you. The post only defined your simple mistake and obvious solution. What you overlooked. Nothing in that belittles you. That also should be obvious.

Now if I want to belittle you, I will say so in a blunt three word sentence. As honest people do. No decent person uses innuendo or secret meanings. None were or are in anything I have posted. Not a single sentence insults you. You cannot even quote one. And if it did, any honest person ignores it as irrelevant to the technical discussion – the context.

Apparently you have even confused a reference to ‘others’ as if also ‘you’. Others are everyone but you unless I say so bluntly and otherwise. Your name was not listed with others. So you have zero logical reasons to assume it.

Many older people get angry – too much ego – when their bad diagnostic procedure is explained. Now, did I call you old? If biased or emotional, then you assumed yes. Assumptions that insult honest people. I said you are not old and not young – if you read that sentence as written. You have zero reasons to believe that sentence says anything about you even if you are old. But based upon our history, you probably jump to that conclusion anyway. Did I say you jumped to that conclusion? Yes if you did not read what I posted. No if you finally understand the difference between reading what is posted verses reading with innuendo. See that word 'probably'? Did you grasp its significance?

Simple. If it belittles you, then you did not read what was written.

OK. So maybe you can go back and read that post to learn what it really says. But again, that means you must read in context - only what is obviously relevant and 100% technical.

You were using bad diagnostics procedures - also called shotgunning. And starved your best help of facts. So you are frustrated (as most anyone would be). And you admit to being exhausted. What you were doing will often create your confusion.

Did I just belittle you again? No. You made mistakes that a majority of people do. (Now how do you read that sentence: that you were emotional or that you used shotgunning? Which way did you read that sentence? Using what I said or what you assume I said?) Does that reality belittle you? If it does, well, again being honest, I don’t care. I provided your best answer. And can do nothing if you insert your biases into what I wrote.

See that second sentence? Intentionally written so you would see maybe three different interpretations. Now reread it in context - 100% technical. Nothing more.

Your post says you included your emotions and biases into what I posted. Therefore read something completely different from what I wrote. You have zero reasons to believe anything was belittling if you read with the honesty and context used to write it.

Bottom line, I don't need your help. You have fed your ego well. It's your time. If you want to waste it, be my guest.
If you want to keep on, go right ahead. You can have this thread if you need it. I have no further need for it. It may not have solved my problem, but the others here did for me just what I asked. You have proved absolutely nothing.

Thank you. I never expected you to apologize for subverting what I wrote. I was waiting to you to be honest. So that I could stop posting WHEN you finally had enough respect to be honest with me.

As for those cheapshots, I am an adult. So they are obviously irrelevant and ignored.

BTW, I am saying this with the same emotions embedded in my every post. I do hope you solve your problem and post what you have discovered. I don't know if you will read this as intended. And did enjoy trying to second guess how you would reply.

Ok, try this...go to device drivers and reinstall the audio drivers. I will bet that will fix it. If not, as someone said.....your sound card. Sometimes a reinstall does not fix a driver problem. It should though.

tramsey Loc: Texas

Horseart I was just wondering if you ever get your sound going and was it the sound card.
I wonder why Mr Wonderful couldn't tell you what was wrong with the computer instead of telling you what was wrong with you. You were right he wanted nothing more than feed his ego and by the sounds of it; it is enormous. But you handled it with tact and grace, congratulations. Now where is English Wolf?? Here boy, come on, come on heh heh heh.

Thank you all for being so nice and so generous with your time. I really haven't done anything more. Company has come in and on top of that, a friend has a son who has been missing for 5 days and it's kind of bogged everyone down.
I am not nearly as computer smart as I thought I was, so when I look for some of the things many of you have suggested, I am not finding them. Just not knowing where to look.
I have a family member who could fix it in a kick, but he is like the guy who gave me so much static. He thinks asking a question automatically makes on a natural dummy, so I won't ask. I would get that same kind of static from him.
I so much appreciate your kindness, but I fear it will take a trip to the computer shop to fix my problem.
I will come back here and let you know what it is.
Company will probably leave tomorrow and I will take it then. We had snow yesterday so I wouldn't have gone then even without company.
Tramsey...stop that! If EW pays us a visit, it may cause even more chaos here. :lol:

If you know which sound card you have, you can try going to the website of that card and maybe it has an upgrade that you can download and install. I had a problem like that on a graphics card and by going to the web site of the maker, I found it had an upgrade, so I downloaded, installed it, and then everything worked great.

Horseart Loc: Alabama

Carolyn, the problem is, I have no idea which sound card I have. Thank you for trying. I still haven't gotten out of here and I'm going to have to call and see if they stay open after lunch on Sat. It's hard to get away. I have had 2 people come by to pick up painting I did for them and while I appreciate their business, they always want to stay and visit!
Thank you, anyway. That's very nice of you.

Horseart if you down load 'Belarc' it will give more than what you want to know about your computer

Horseart Loc: Alabama

Thanks, I did that once on the advice of a really nice person that tried to help and when it looked like Greek, I uninstalled it. I intened to re-install it and just haven. I will do that now because the shop is now closed til Monday. I'm glad it's only the sound! LOL!

After you install it (Belarc) again and get the inventory you can send it to me and I will interpret it for you. Belarc will save the inventory as a single web archive file .MHT which then you can email or upload.

WOW, thanks Bob, will PM it to you! I have it installed. After a closer look, it's still Greek.
