Hello.
I spent a lot of time away from PPCT building my own PC. I did it!
Everything worked relatively fine, until I tried to play a music file or CD.
Windows Media Player says "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"
As I go to Control Panel/Sound devices, I find "No audio device" and as a result there are no further options to choose from.
I am confused, since I don't even know what "audio device" is supposed to mean in computer's language (evidently, it is not the speakers)... My Motherboard is an ASUS P5GD1-VM, 915G chipset, supposed to be good for 7.1 channels audio.
If it is a fact that I don't have an audio device, what do I need to do to install one?
Thanks for your attention and help.
