What kind of sound card is it? is it built into the motherboard?
Have you tried downloading drivers for the card?

Welcome to TechIMO!!

What does it say in Device Manager under sound?

ME is flaky BTW - 98 a lot more stable. IMO

It is probably just a problem wtih the driver. Check your Windows Update for any drivers you need to download or go to Compaq's site and reinstall drivers. http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/softwar...etype=software
