From one world of silence to another...
Well this just sucks...
I turned off my sound card as part of an idea I found to get the sound for Porototype to work, and now whenever I try to turn my SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio back on, it causes my computer to freeze up and I've tried it like three or four times.
Moral of the story I see only three ways to deal with this problem...
1: I can try, preferably with the help of my tech savy mom over the phone to disconect my sound card, from my machine while it is off, then boot it up let everything run disagonistiscs, turn it off and reconect the sound card, because in theory it'll that way be automatically in the active position, right?
2: I could buy a new sound card, hopefully one that doesn't feel finicky and make my computer freeze up if I just try to turn it on or off from the control panel menu...
3: I can sit and suffer in silence till I've got a chance for my parrents to look over it personally...
Okay there's a fourth solution but I'd just as soon not have to sit and suffer through calling the windows help line again some things are much worse than having a computer that makes no sound....
What do you guys think I should do?
