Hi there, one of my many Windows 3.1 issues this week.

(I am aware of another thread from 2014 which has now been locked)

I’ve recently installed windows onto an old Presario 425, at the same time I installed a CS4231 (Packard Bell/Aztech) card, which unfortunately after installing multiple different drivers appears to be dead, to be fair it wasn’t stored well (or maybe I’m not using the correct drivers).

So I’d be happy to use the PC Speaker for now, it is fully functioning and on a previous install of windows (disks now gone) it was playing .wav files etc.

I have tried installing the generic PC speaker driver, to no avail, I have removed every other driver from Control Panel, and still nothing. Hopefully I don’t have to go through system file and identify EVERY driver and delete?

So what I’m asking is, is there any alternative install, better way to remove or check drivers ?

I heard about a program called speakeasy from Indiana University but it appears they no longer host the file.

Thank you

I found this page about 2 weeks ago when trying to go the other way (route non existent pc speaker to soundcard) so haven't tried any of them

Trouble getting any of those links now.

I’m just confused as to why the pc speaker driver is not working. I am not able to test sounds in Windows, if I install all the drivers included with windows then the sounds at least appear (not greyed our) but I still can’t test
