Hey all. I need help determining if my sound card is bad. It's onboard sound. It's VIA AC'97. I've been having some multimedia problems and was thinking it may be the soundcard. When I run NetMeeting it gives me an error saying something about the soundcard not supporting all the features. And when I try to play a DVD I can't. It says that I either don't have enough video memory or my sound card isnt functioning. It can't be video memory cuz I just installed a new ATI Radeon 8500 All-In-Wonder video card with 64MB of DDR. I think I had other programs that had sound problems but I can't remember them now. How should I start to diagnose this problem???
