Hi SHANKER,

Based on the given description it seems that the sound card does not get detected when playing audio. Possibly after you reinstalled the sound card, sound card drivers have gone corrupt. If you have a Drivers disc that came with the computer, try uninstalling/reinstalling the audio driver. If you do not have the disc, reply with the Device instance Id of the sound card in your machine so that I can find the correct driver for your sound card. Follow the steps below to get the Device instance Id for the sound card:

1. Right click My Computer icon on the desktop.
2. Select Manage.
3. Select Device Manager from the right pane of the window that opens.
4. Expand Sound, video and game controllers from right pane.
5. This will show the sound card in the machine.
6. Right click the sound card (with yellow mark) and select Properties.
7. Click details tab.
8. Select Device instance Id from the drop down list.
9. It will show the Device instance Id in a list box in the middle of the window.

Do reply with results.
