These are instructions on how to install the Plug and Play Software Enumerator in XP/2k -- if it is missing. If it isn't missing and works then this wouldn't be the cause of your audio problem.

I presume swenum.inf is a Win9X/ME only file. The machine.inf solution should work for 2000 and XP. If you can't find or see the files it may be because your explorer isn't configured to show system or hidden files -- check your options or use a cmd prompt.

From an MSDOS cmd prompt type or copy and paste:
md \temp
cd \temp
copy %windir%\inf\machine.inf \temp\allmachine.inf
copy %windir%\system32\drivers\swenum.sys \temp
copy %windir%\system32\streamci.dll \temp
notepad \temp\allmachine.inf

Using notepad go to line 20 (CTRL-G 20) which should be ExcludeFromSelect=*
Delete and remove that line and save the file. Notepad and the cmd prompt can be closed.

%windir% was probably c:\windows\ and that was automatically be expanded in the windows cmd prompt.

Now, just go to Add Hardware, add a new hardware device there at the bottom, install from list, next, have disk, and select the temp directory where we copied the files (c:\temp\ in the example here).

You should have all the different machine level services listed since we've removed the ExcludeFromSelect=* which hid them all. We only want to add Plug and Play Software Enumerator and nothing else so select and install only that.
