Re: No Sound from Dimension 5100

Gerald,
If you still have the W98 CD that came with your Gateway, or know some one that has the CD, you should be able to copy them into a folder that you create.

On my Packard Bell W98 restore disk they are located in the following folder:
CD:\Win98\WINDOWS\MEDIA

Then you can copy and paste to the Windows default media folder located at:
C:\WINDOWS\Media

Thanks for that information Jerry. I'll check the back of my subwoofer. Good
to know it has an analogue output.
