I am using an on-board AC97 sound card. I found that there was an updated driver for the sound card on Windows Update and I have downloaded that and installed it. Somehow this seems to have put everything back to how it should be, although I can't work out why as there seems to be no software setting which would allow me to switch between mono and stereo.
At least it's working properly again now. Thanks, Caroline. > Message Received: Jul 29 2005, 12:23 AM > From: "Doc" > To: "PC audio discussion list.
