After my computer froze and I restarted it, I got a message asking me to choose safe mode and some other options. However when I choose any of them, it takes me to the blue screen with the display message Umnountable Boot Volume, with *** STOP: 0x000000ED message. Does anyone know what could be done about this?

Help!!

I just bought a Dell and when I plug a mic into the mic jack no sound comes out. There is no mute/un-mute checkbox below the volume fader for the mic/line-in. What should I do?

I lost the sound on my laptop. When I push the mute or volume button on the fron of the computer the volume level shows about half full but it won’t let me raise ore lower the volume. It is as if it is permanantly muted but it says that it is not. The only sound I ever get is an occasional loud beep.

How do i inststall an audio driver and how do I know which one to install. I have a Dell Inspiron 6000.

I am using the m-audio o2 with a usb connection and garageband and the midi volume comes in very soft relative to say clicking on the garageband software keyboard keys. Is there anyway to increase the volume of the keyboard relative to everything else, without amplifying it using the EQ or overdrive, etc. The volume slider is all the way up and also sometimes the sounds don’t come through clearly. Could it be a bad USB cable or bad keyboard? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I’m using a notebook comp (Dell Inspiron 5100) with the integrated speakers. I often want to record the soundcard’s output while I’m streaming net-radio, without having to actually hear the audio in real-time. I’m recording it to my disk, and will listen to it later. The integrated speakers do not have a volume control seperate from the volume control that lives in the systray. I cannot use the “mute,” as this cancels the soundcard output, thus disabling the ability to record the audio, which is the whole point.

The only method I’ve found that works is to keep a 1/8″ phono jack handy to stuff in the headphone jack, which does exactly what I want, but that means I have to keep a 1/8″ phono jack always nearby. Is there another way, so that this can become my Plan B?
The hotkeyed function keys have the same effect as manipulating the Volume control’s sliders.
