win2k workstation sp4 - Audio driver AC97 last updates.
It happens that I can't ear system sounds. All wav files are played
correctly.

If I play a test wav file I can ear it correctly. If I go to control panel
sounds and I assign a sound to an operation (f.i. empty trash), the speakers
play correctly the wav files.
But if I close control panel and I try to empty trash or anything other
applications with associated sound, I can only ear the beep from the
motherboard buzzer.

I have re-installed ac97 drivers with last updates. No success. Any tips?
Thank you.

Marco

I found many suggestions here, some for Win 2000 and some for XP:
