Hi. You need to check the bios and make sure audio is enabled (sounds like you have on board sound, built into the motherboard). If you don't see the audio controller/sound card in device manager, this is probably why. As for the modem, it should be plug and play. Your bios MAY or may not have an option (it may be enabled by default and no selection possible). You could try removing and re-seating the modem card, maybe try another slot if this does not work.

ok i bought a new sound card and yeah it was built in and im pretty sure the sound was on in the bios, as for the modem i had already taken it out and installed the drivers like 3 times, i also have tried different pci slots, i am hoping the sound card i got will work tho and ill tell you if it does thnx! (problem still not resolved)

Still waiting on your reply about the new sound card you purchased. Also, when you go into the DEVICE MANAGER (hold down the Windows key & hit the Pause/Break key), are there any items with yellow exclamation/question marks next to them?

[the70sin2005]

THIS IS WHAT MY COMPUTER SAYS WHEN I TRY TO PLAY SOMETHING OR TRY TO GO TO THE VOLUME CONTROLLS: cannot find sound device. >but i in the device manager it says that it is working properly.
~~~~~~
for the modem it says: Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly. >and it was configured properly and what not and i closed all the applications yet it wont let me connect to the internet!

Go to START-->CONTROL PANEL. In the new window that appears, double-click on SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES. Click on the AUDIO tab. What is listed in the dropdown box for DEFAULT DEVICE under the SOUND PLAYBACK heading?

Do you use a modem (aka dialup conneciton) to access the Internet? If you don't, then I suggest you turn off your computer, remove the side panel (The panel you want to remove is the one on the left side of the case if you are looking directly at the front of it), and take out the modem card itself. Let me know if there is no PCI card for the modem, meaning it's built-in to the system. I have other things you can do if that is the case.
