I haven't a scooby..
gone through all the usual tricks, it says it is there but isn't if that makes sense,
two programs I use are saying no sound card detected,
an inherited tower which previously had an installed sound card but should default back to basic as I've twice done a fresh install, I could throw one in if I had one, the tower is a big upgrade as CPU score alone is 10x plus a SSD disk, might buy a cheap card to see if it'll remedy the problem, there again I may be missed something simple (no not me


).
No hurry, I can swop over computers in minutes..
