Sound card Problem-Driver is enabled but inactive due to unknown problem
I had the same problem, and if you change your sound card, change drivers, wherever, the problem will remain.
I have a solution.
The problem is : the “system.ini” file on your computer is corrupted or some command lines are missing. this can occur when you install a program and for a understandable reason the config.sys file is not written correctly.
First I will tell you what will not work
A) If you delete the system.ini and install windows again (from within windows), your system.ini will appear, but with the old problem, so don’t do that.
B) If you reformat your HD and install windows again, the problem is solved, but I think this is too drastic.
What will work ?
A) If you have an system.ini old copy, you can copy to C:\WINDOWS directory an replace the actual system.ini , This is not easy to do if you are not familiar with DOS. Reboot to DOS. 1. At the windows prompt (C:\WINDOWS) type dir system*.* press the enter key. You should see at least one system.xxx file like system.ini. If you see another system file first rename the original system.ini file to another file name. EXAMPLE: ren system.ini system.old Then rename the other system file to system.ini EXAMPLE: ren system.xxx system.ini Now reboot
B) If you have a friend or if you know someone who have a computer with an configuration like yours you can take a copy of system.ini and copy to C:\WINDOWS directory on your computer.
C) You can copy any system.ini file even if the computer is different from yours. You may have to change your configuration. Change things like keyboard setting etc.
If you solve your problem please let me know.
Thanks
