  • I found something out. It was not the drivers causing my problem. Somehow Windows audio became disabled. This has happened three times, always after the installation of Winamp. It was a simple matter that took me about three minutes to restart Windows audio. I see a lot of posts about lost sound and error messages; 'no audio device found'. This is probably the first place you should look if you lose your sound. I hope this helps someone....

  • Need Diamond Multimedia Stealth 2500 video driver

    Does anyone know where I can find a video driver for a Diamond Multimedia Stealth 2500 video card. I have tried the Diamond website, CNET, and Googled the crap out of it. It seems like every link I find on Google steers you down the road to a link for a driver updater program that you have to pay for. I am running XP Home. The tag on the chip says Stealth Video 2500 and the serial number tag on the back of the card reads Stealth Video 2500 PCI...

    replied to will not play sound
    I think you might need to update your sound drivers. Go to the device manager and check the version number of the driver and Google it to see if there is an update. I personally have had better luck downloading and installing the drivers myself than using the update driver option in the device manager. I'm a Newbie too, you just have to keep sh.....g around with it and you'll figure it out.

  • I have tried registry mechanic but I have found that it gave me some "false positives", it didn't mess up my system because I always backup. I have been using Eusing Cleaner and it has never gave me any problems, and its free. I really like jv powertools but unfortunately like a lot of people I really have to watch my finances. I don't know how many sound problems are related to the registry, but from alot of googling it seems that the...

  • Update: problem solved

    XP audio problem solved. I needed to update my SoundMax drivers. I had run several programs that searched for outdated drivers but none of them indicated the SoundMax driver as being outdated so I updated all the outdated drivers with no luck.

    I kept sh....g around with the Dell driver installation disc thinking that I wasn't doing something right; reinstalling what I thought was a corrupted driver....

    No audio in Windows XP: Error no audio device

    I have no audio. First Windows media player gave me an error, I don't remember what it was because I rarely use it, I use Winamp as my default and I had sound on Winamp so I didn't really care. Then Winamp lost sound.

    The only thing I did between the time I had sound and when it quit was defragment. I received an error saying I had no audio device. I had this problem before and I solved it by reinstalling all the Soundmax IDA drivers...

    Scalar code



    Glenton, here is my code.

    [code=python]
    def scalar_mult(n, m):
    mx = m[:]
    x = 0
    while x < len(mx):
    for index, value in enumerate(mx[x]):
    mx[x][index] = mx[x][index] * n
    x += 1
    return mx
    [/code]...

    Help with pure functions

    I am a beginner working my way through How To Think Like A Computer Scientist. I am having a problem with an exercise that multiplies a matrix by a scalar. def scalar_mult(n, m), n being the scalar and m being the matrix.
    My code works but I guess its not a pure function because if I put in

    >>> m = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
    >>> scalar_mult(3, m)

    my return is [[3, 6], [9, 12]] which is correct,...
