QuickView displays videos clearly, but I have no sound. I have the AC97
ICH4 issue, but MPXPlay works without any configuration. I have tried every
driver listed on your site to no avail. I have to keep my internal speaker
disconnected because the beeps wreak havoc with my wife's hearing aid. My
output is to an amplifier (two channel) connected to Minimus 7 speakers.
Any suggestions?
