Hello,
If i go onto windows media player a warning pops up saying:

"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There may not be a sound device installed on your computer, it may be in use by another program, or it may not be functioning properly."

when i go to properties, it says:

Legacy Audio Drivers
Device Type - Sound, video and game controllers
Manufacturer - (Standard system devices)
Location - Unknown.

It also says that it is working properly and does not need updated.

Hi regglou,

It don't appear to be detected, make sure the audio is enabled in the bios. If you are using a dedicated audio card, try re-seating the card.
