windows 98: audio problems

[Joaquim]

the audio drivers are installed. but,  again, the Directx 9 is give me a message error and the 'sound' page\tab isn't showed:

"DxDiag Error: Problem getting extra sound info, result code = 0x80004005 (generic failure)"

and the "Multimedia" isn't executed... somthing wrong with drivers and i don't know why

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_266D&SUBSYS_00661025&REV_04
Intel 82801FB(M) ICH6(-M) - AC'97 Modem Controller [B2]

and

i uninstall the 98se2me program(for win98 get the windows ME theme).. and then i reinstall the audio drivers.

and now i must found the windows me\2000 theme for windows 98.(the Revolutions Pack give me the same audio problems)

thanks for all

i will add more information:

- we can uninstall the 98se2me, and the OS is restored;

- if we install the RevPack, we can't uninstall it(i did some search) .... so, the best, is format the pc.

the best choice for get the Windows ME style is using the themes from https://www.themedoctor.com/win2k.html

some are *.exe... but use the *.theme format.. it's the best for don't get trouble
